Stories about the name Grayson

We liked Gray as a nickname and Grayson gave us a full name to put on a birth certificate. The colour has this quiet, sophisticated thing going on. Our Grayson is seven and very loud, which is a running joke at our house.

— Melissa, Charlotte NC, 2017

Wyatt's middle name is Grayson. When we had a second son and Grayson was the top of our list, my husband said we were 'recycling.' I said we were 'honoring our own instincts.' He agreed, eventually.
