Gray, Grey, or Graye?!
Need a little help finalizing the spelling for baby boy's name (which I think we've finally chosen!). Thoughts?
Julian Gray
Julian Grey
Julian Graye

I like Grey.
Generally, I like both Gray and Grey a lot. Because Julian looks a lot like Dorian, I'd go with Julian Grey in that combo. Whenever I put Grey/Gray in the middle I choose the spelling based on the vowels in the other name to even it out a bit. But in general I prefer Grey a smidge over Gray.
Graye = ridiculous!

Gray
Just because I've always preferred that spelling of the word over "grey", and the E at the end seem to unnecessarily feminize it.

Graye is a blatant fake. Gray is black + white in America, and Grey is black + white in the UK. You choose!
Well, if you're using Gray as a tribute to somebody of that name, use their spelling.
If not, use the spelling that is considered correct in your area. Gray in the US, Grey in England, for instance.

Absolutely NOT Graye, whatever you do. Besides being an odd spelling, it looks very feminine and matching it with Julian, even more so. It might as well be Julianne Graye.
I, personally, love the look of Grey and find it more serious and masculine than Grey, but understand how with Julian it looks better as Gray. I'm a very visual person.

Our last name has an 'e' but no 'a'
Just so you can visualize the whole name... Our last name is 'e'-heavy, but no 'a's
