Does the name Grady sound....
| Fri, 01-27-2006 - 10:38pm |
backwoods to you? someone on another name board said it sounded backwoods. I don't want a backwoods name! I was really leaning towards Grady and then I read that opinion.
WDYT? I am getting a little anxious, only 9 days to go and no name yet.
PS his brother is Scott Nicholas

I don't think Grady sounds "backwoods" at all. In fact, it gives me the impression of someone athletic. The worst thing I can think of is its similarity to the slang word "grody" (gross). I don't think it would work on my son (assuming I ever have one), but I can absolutely picture a cute little boy and a grown man named Grady. :-)
Good luck making that final decision!

I'm sorry to say, that's exactly how it sounds to me. To give away my dh's eclectic taste in music, I can't help but think of an Eminem song on a CD he has that talks about a man named Grady returning to his "trailor-park home" to find his wife in bed with another man. If I remember right, you had two or three other very-nice choices (correct?). I think I'd just shy away from this one. Sorry. :(

no, not to me. My dh's grandpa's middle was Grady, and dh wants to use it as a middle for a future son for us. I'm not sold on it yet. My mil works at a highschool and she says there are two highschool boys named Grady. And, they do NOT live anywhere near backwoods, it's actually a quite well to do area. So, I say go for it if you really like it!
good luck,
Sunny

I like the name Grady, but would never use it because in downtown Atlanta there is a hospital named Grady
