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.
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.
People saying North Americans pronounce it gram.. That's not true! I'm from Canada and have only ever heard it Gray-am! Very nice name pronounced this way.

In Scotland, it's always pronounced GRAY-am. If you pronounce it "gram" here, you might get a few blank looks!
