I love Graham, but not enough to use it.

I don't mind it. It's cozy and steady. Trustworthy. Both pronunciations are used where I'm from! I kinda like the "gray um" one because it's strange. But I find "gram" highly adorable .

I like it but I've only heard the pronunciation "gram". Can someone explain the other pronunciation? I heard it pronounced "gram" by a coworker who was British when I worked at DisneyWorld so I'm curious.

Same! This is my first time that I heard Gram is uncommon. Like Graham Crackers.

Gray um

I like GRAY-əm. Very friendly, but not loud. Down to earth. GRAM makes no sense to me.

It's very handsome. I've only ever heard it pronounced like "gram" (I live in the U.S.).

Like it a lot.

Gram seems to be strictly American; unfortunately, it could well spread like chewing gum and Coca-Cola.I like Graham, two syllables of course, very much and would consider using it IRL. I have a distant cousin Graham, a boomer; it seems to be out of fashion now, but I think it's still perfectly usable.

I like GRAY-um but the possibility of GRAM means I’d never use it.

My last name before I married and I love it. Definitely on the list for a future child. I pronounce it Gray-UM
