It's worse than Grayson/Greyson IMO, and doesn't at all fit in with the rest of the names. I honestly think Lance Edward Montague sounds far better.

I feel like Greer or Grayson or Wilder would be better; I think Wilder is silly, and Grayson is trendy, but Grayer seems worse...like Darker would be but deliberately washed out. Montague has an interesting sound and calls to mind Romeo and Juliet (could be good or bad, depending on what you're going for). Lance calls to mind Lancelot which furthers the tragic romance associations. And with that being so, Edward puts me in mind of Twilight.

Lance and Edward are ok

Grayer, and his sister Bluer? Their cousin Marker? No, really, it can't be a good idea. Use Gray as a fn if you like it; otherwise Lance Edward is a reasonable mainstream choice.

For a character it seems deliberately dark and dramatic - self-consciously though, could be humorous.
If you drop Grayer, Lance Edward Montague just sounds super preppy. I picture a blonde guy into golf and sailing, who likes to wear polo shirts and capri pants.

Grayer sounds enough like Gregor that I could buy it as a name, I just don't love the spelling, it makes me think of gray hair (although I guess it would suit if the character did have gray hair). Greyor would be cooler imo. Still a little dark/dramatic but not as contrasty with supercilious/playboy Lance Edward Montague.

I like it

Awful. A truly dreadful thing to do to a child, ugly, dark and depressing. saw it used as a character name in a film and it made me cringe everytime they used it.

It’s fine for a character.

Grayer than what?

---

It's not a good name, even for a fictional character.

On a character it’s fine, I like it more in conjunction with the full name. Lance Edward is a nice combo.

---

Not sure if I like Greyer more…It’s the -yer part that I find most appealing though. If it was me I might go with something like Bryer or Thayer.

It's very ugly and deliberately moody. If I had to guess what kind of fictional character I would guess love interest in a trashy romance novel, and he's a pretty awful man but because he's good looking and wealthy he is deemed a romantic figure.

More Gray? Grayer?
