Graham
Wdyt of Graham? I used to think it was a rather stupid name--graham cracker anyone?--but lately it has been growing on me.

Some people are like slinkies. They're not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs!

Love it. The only downside is the pronunciation.
I'm an American, but I have always pronounced the name "GRAY-um." Apparently, I'm all alone here in the U.S. :-(

I love it. I used to only think of graham crackers also, but I love old-fashioned underused names with a British feel and this is definitely one imo.

I've always liked it. It sounds like the name of someone who is sensitive and thoughtful. I prefer the spelling Graeme though.
It's nms. Graham is a family name for me. It's an ok name but not something I would use.
I like it! It's rather cute but I know at least one man with that name so it's cool! And graham crackers are yummy! :)
Do you pronounce it GRAM or GREY-um? I like it as a mn.

I've never heard it pr. Grey-um. I do prefer it pr. Gram though.

You've never heard it pro. GREY-um? GREY-um is the pro. we have in NZ and also in Aus I think. I only know it can be pro. GRAM because of this site. There was a thread about the pro. of it once.

Love Graham (Gray-um)
Yes, the Gram / Gray-um thread was pretty recently.

I live in the South and always heard it as GRAM. I like both pronunciations, though.

I don't see how people get GRAM out of Graham

In this part of the country (I live near Boston) I've only ever heard it as Gram. I've known boys named Graham but also know people with Graham as a surname and that is how they pronounce it.
