I think Graham is a wonderful name. It is mature and youthful at the same time, classy yet modernly unique. I also love the meaning “gravel”, because that could symbolize the road/journey of life. Overall, I think Graham is a lovely name.

Sounds like an old man name, but probably only because the one person I know with this name is an old man.

I LOVE the name Graham! It sounds so handsome and it just looks nice. Unfortunately, I call my grandma "Gram", so there's no way I can use the name. I'll just think of my grandma when I say it...

I HATE this name with a passion. There was a big boy in my class in elementary school named Graham. I had to hold his feet during sit-ups in PE and he farted right in my face. That’s all I associate with the name Graham. There’s also the measurement gram. Graham cracker. I wouldn’t wish this on anybody.

Graham Nash of the Hollies (and CSNY), as well as Allan Clarke of the Hollies, pronounces this name "Gray-um," distinctly two syllables. At least, Nash used to pronounce it that way when he lived in England. He's lived in America for the last half a century, so maybe he's got a different accent now.

I like Graham (Pronounced Gray-Ham). It has a nice feeling to it and reminds me of Python member Graham Chapman. I believe Graeme is an alternate spelling to Graham. Graham is good in my books.

The name Graham is pronounced gram and that's the only way that I've ever heard it. Gray-am sounds really weird but the gram pronunciation only reminds me of Graham crackers. Sometimes I hate Graham crackers, but not the name Graham.

Even though I imagine an old person with this name, I think the name Graham is really cute. :) In the UK we pronounce it as "GRAY-əm". "GRAM" sounds like a completely different name to me! Anyway, I think Graham is a nice, respectable name and is a lot better than some of the trendy names used these days.

I don't like it how almost everyone in North America pronounce it GRAM. It makes it sound so boring. It sounds much better as GRAY-um because then you can get the nickname Gray.

I think Graham would make an awesome middle name! Since it's one syllable it would go with a lot of names.

I have never liked this as a first name. I don't like how it sounds, whether it's said as "Gram" or as "GRAY-am". There's just something restricted and unpleasant to me when I say it. It also makes me think of Graham crackers, unfortunately, and when said the North American way, of "Gram" as in Grandma or "gram" the measurement of weight. The meaning of the name isn't the nicest for a first name, either. Much better left as a perfectly fine surname. If you simply must use it, make it a middle name.

Graham crackers! Yummy. Especially in milk, sprinkled with sugar. I'm thinkin' it must have been a brand name at some point.

In my opinion, this name ages well. For a little boy, it sounds cute and endearing. For a teenaged boy, it sounds sounds strong and handsome, yet youthful. For a man, it sounds mature enough, but it still sounds handsome. For an elderly man, it sounds wise and respectful. Overall, in my opinion, this name is just a perfect fit, for any age! It's strong, it's handsome, it's smart, it's mature, and, quite bluntly, I find it kind of sexy!

I adore the name Graham. I think it is nice for both genders. My family is thinking about naming my soon-to-be half-brother Graham. Very modern but a little too youthful. Graham was also a contestant on the Bachelorette with DeAnna Pappas.

I love it. But I really dislike the spelling "Graeme" which for some reason doesn't hit top 1000 but is very popular for boys under 10 in my area. Also, it makes me think of Graham crackers. These two things really put me off the name.

I've only encountered one Graham in my life and I will forever picture someone with that name as strong, very tall, and masculine. I suggest pairing a strong name like this with a strong last name too. Otherwise, it just might sound ridiculous. =)
