Very “old man.” I picture a 70-80 year old retired farmer in dirty bibs.

I think this name sounds tuff. It reminds me of a tuff football player. My parents wanted me to name my child Carter but I said it wasn’t tuff enough of a name.

Creepy. I think of the ghost/villain in “The Shining.” No!

My friend's name was Grady and it fit his personality and style so well. He wore oversized clothes and darker colors, he had longer hair, but not like greasy thug type, looks like he would listen to rock music. That’s how I would imagine a Grady to look like. After I met him I always thought about how much I love the name Grady, it reminds me of 80’s kids. Some people love the name some people hate it, but I believe it will always be that way for names. I think Grady could be fit for a full name as well as a nickname, or maybe have “Gray” as a nickname for Grady. “Hey Gray!” Idk I think it’s fun.

I know a little girl named Grady and she fits her name so well. Now I can only imagine the name on a girl. But I do love the name on any gender and think it's just so strong and adorable at the same time.

I think this name goes to someone who likes reptiles like a turtle and is very into mythology. I see this name as for a kid who is a nerd (no hard feelings Gradys) It sounds like all this person cares about is books and brags how much they read that day.

My dad and my brother both have the name Graden and are called Grady for short. And I can't find their names on here. Always thought Grady was short for Graden and to find Graden not even on here. Hmmmm...

I first considered the name after hearing it in the Shining. It sounded strong and manly, even though Mr. Grady was a creepy ghost-villain. I still like it.

I sort of like this name... I wouldn't use it as a full name though and none of the longer names for Grady sound good (like Graden?) Though I prefer Grady to Brady as a nickname, I much prefer Braylen to Graden.

I've never actually met anyone named Grady, but I have a bad impression of it due to two fictional characters. One is a racist bus driver in a story in the book "The Dark-Thirty" (Grady is his first name) and one is the butler in "The Shining" (Grady is his last name) - who, incidentally, is also a racist. I think "The Dark-Thirty" was the first time I ever came across this name, so that contributed a lot to my impression of it.

I absolutely hate the name Brady, but for some reason I really like Grady. Yes, it does sound like gravy, but so what? Haha. I think this would be a refreshing choice and it seems like its becoming more popular. It's one of those Irish names that has been used in America for awhile and doesn't sound strange or like the parents are "trying too hard" to sound Irish, like a lot of anglicized names in use today.

Just like Brady, this is an ugly, annoying name that makes me think of irritating dimwits.
