Do you pronounce the son in Grayson?

I say it more like [name_u]Gray[/name_u]-sin. Is it just me?

I say ‘gray-s’n’ Like the o doesn’t exist.

gray-sin

This is my cat’s name.

gray-sin

This is my cat’s name. I love the gray/grey names and also just [name_u]Gray[/name_u]/[name_u]Grey[/name_u].

I say it like gray-sin as well. Or if you prefer grace’n :slight_smile:

I have a lazy southern tongue though.

I pronounce it gray-sin.

I say gray-sun.

My cat is [name_m]Grayson[/name_m], as well ([name_u]Gray[/name_u]-sun).

I say it kind of like [name_f]GRACE[/name_f]-un. Definitely doesn’t sound like an ‘in’ sound to me, but that’s the wonder of accents :slight_smile: The problems start for me when people start replacing Os with Is and Ys. It doesn’t translate properly into other accents; e.g. I’d pronounce Masin and Greysin differently to [name_u]Mason[/name_u] and [name_m]Greyson[/name_m] :stuck_out_tongue:

I say it gray Sin… You can always watch Revenge and see how they pronounce it.

Me too! I really prefer [name_u]Grey[/name_u]. [name_m]Grayson[/name_m] always sounds too feminine to me.

[name_f]Grace[/name_f]-un is the way I’d describe it as well. Same with most -son names : [name_f]Alice[/name_f]-un, [name_m]Harris[/name_m]-un, etc.

I think I say all the above, depending on the day, haha! I have heard myself say gray-son, gray-sin, grase-n, gray-suhn, etc.! Either way, I love the name.

I pronounce it [name_u]Gray[/name_u]-sin

grey-sn the O is still their but its just not very obvious.

I don’t know, but I’m thinking everybody says [name_m]Grayson[/name_m] the same way - [name_u]Gray[/name_u]-s’n.

Around here -son is always “sun.”
