Just a quick story, not a judgment on the name, but just an interesting experience I had.

Flying on the plane to Orlando this year, a mother and young child were seated behind me. The Mom repeatedly addressed the child as Grayson. I was shocked when I got up to leave the plane and discovered that Grayson was a girl.

(FWIW, I voted for Graham. I tend to favor more classic/traditional names.)

I really like Graham Miller--is that a family name, perhaps? Not a fan of the uber trendy an yooneek Jaxton. I foresee a lifetime of your kid spelling and respelling his name (although, I should talk. I named my daughter Eleni, a very common Greek name. Unfortunately, Anglos butcher it every time. Sigh.)

Grayson Kristopher-----Fine, so long as you use Christopher.

Graham Miller---Like it, except that it may be said as "Gramiller."

Jaxton Miller---Hate it. Sounds like a hybrid of Jackson and......well, something else it should not have been joined with. The child will FOREVER have to explain to people that his name is NOT Jackson. Why doom him to a life of that?

If I combined options 1 and 2, I'd get Grayson Miller, which may be the best of them all.

On Top Chef, there was a Grayson...a girl, but regardless, I still like that name. (And my name is a boy or girl name so I may be partial because of that! )

I vote none. I dislike them all. Jaxton is the worst.

Do not burden your child, especially a male, with a name with a cutesy spelling! They will spend their life correcting people or more likely with a male put up with it misspelled because it is to much bother to correct it.

I vote none. I dislike them all. Jaxton is the worst.

I agree but it wasn't an option, so I went with the least objectionable. At least Graham is a traditional name and spelled correctly.

Agreed.

 

[EMom]

I agree but it wasn't an option, so I went with the least objectionable. At least Graham is a traditional name and spelled correctly.

That's why I suggested Grayson Miller. Both names are spelled correctly. I can't get past Kristopher and Jaxton is baaaaaad.

Graham Miller reminds me of someone who works in a flour mill making cookies.

Kristopher is spelled wrong and Jaxton doesn't exist.

I don't like any of them.

The OP may need to add "none of the above" to her poll................

I agree.

And the only Jaxton I know is a girl.

 

[ShesAPirate]

I honestly don't like any of them, either. Graham is nice, but not crazy about Miller as a middle name. And don't get me started on Jaxton, ugh... or "Kristopher"

 

[SaraJayne]

You forgot "none of the above".

 

[Micca]

Graham is by far the best option above. Not sure how important a middle name is because so few people use it.

I will say that Graham works best with a last name with 2 or more syllables.
Graham Jones, Graham Smith...they sound like businesses that sell copy machines. Graham Anderson or Graham Meeaward--much better

Can I vote for Grayson Miller?

 

[Rylee]

I'm not a fan of Graham... many call their Grandmothers "Gram" and that's what comes to my mind.

The other 2 are okay.

 

[Talking Hands]

Graham was my brother's name so I like that. Not so sure of the Miller. Too much of a last name for.

 

[zurgswife]

I also vote for Grayson Miller....

Jaxton is the worst possible spelling of Jackson if that is what you were going for.

Kristopher with a K is the pits...
