Of the three, Declan would be my first choice. Grayden and Ryerson are too last-namey for me.

I just have to say I love Grayden and the other spellings Graydon, Graden, Gradon, etc.

My hubby's g-pa was Grady, and he wants to use that as a middle, but I don't like it as much as Grayden. Also, I like Gray, which is one of our puppies' middle names (Maxwell Gray).

Greydan - what do you think about that spelling?

Declan would be my only choice. Ryerson is a mouthful, and seems to be simply another variation on the many Ryan/Rylan/Rileys out there right now. Grayden makes me think of just that ... a drab gray den. Not a positive image, I know, but I can't really avoid such a visualization with such a literal name. Sorry. :( Declan, on the other hand, has always been a favorite, so that definitely gets my vote. ;) HTH

I voted Grayden, but I really like Grayson a bit better. Ryerson is a bit too last name-y to me, and I've never been quite sure of the pronounciation of Declan. Is it a long e sound or short?

Declan is pronounced 'deck-lyn'. I had never heard Grayden before, which is why I like it better than Grayson.
