Grant vs Graham popularity

Do you think Grant or Graham is more popular?

According to Nameberry, Graham is further up the charts. But looking more for personal/anecdotal experience.

For any teachers here, which name do you see more?

For others, do you know of more Grants or Grahams?

Do you think Graham is going to be top of the charts in the next few years?

They’ve seen more Grants over time but more Grahams in the next decade, teachers.

I know 3 Grants age 25-40 and 3 Grahams age 10-22.
I am sad to say Graham is headed higher up, I’m sure. It’s really gained steam especially on the heels of Grayson’s popularity.

My son is Grantson, no nn :heart_eyes:

I know one of each

I’ve met several Grahams, but I’ve never met a [name_m]Grant[/name_m], personally I like [name_m]Grant[/name_m] more than [name_m]Graham[/name_m], but I think it’s gonna be at least in the top 100 in a few years

I can think of at least 4 Grants off the top of my head. 3 are my age (early 20s) and one is about 5. I only know one [name_m]Graham[/name_m], and he’s probably in his 40s. [name_m]Grant[/name_m] is more popular in my experience.

I know two of each. The younger ones are Grahams. I don’t think it’s skyrocketing up the charts, but it seems to be a well-used, well-loved name, and steadily climbing. I wouldn’t call it trendy, though.

I know more Grahams than Grants - I think I might have only met one [name_m]Grant[/name_m]. However, all the Grahams I’ve met have been 40+ :man_shrugging:

Still, this is a UK perspective. Looking at the US stats, [name_m]Graham[/name_m] is on an upwards climb, while [name_m]Grant[/name_m] is trending downwards, but [name_m]Grant[/name_m] has been more popular in the past than [name_m]Graham[/name_m], so maybe it feels more popular still?

Could [name_m]Graham[/name_m] move further up the charts though? Possibly. It’s got similar sounds to Grayson/Greyson, but also to [name_m]Li[/name_m]am, [name_m]Willi[/name_m]am, [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], [name_m]Adam[/name_m], [name_m]Jameson[/name_m] etc. so it might do?

I know of more people named [name_m]Graham[/name_m] than [name_m]Grant[/name_m]. Most of the Grants are over 20 years old, while most of the Grahams are under 10. I don’t think [name_m]Graham[/name_m] will ever top the charts, but I do see it continuing to rise in the next few years.

I’ve only met one [name_m]Grant[/name_m], a middle schooler, and no Graham’s at all. I definitely think [name_m]Graham[/name_m] has been going up in popularity recently, while [name_m]Grant[/name_m] has been downtrending… I think maybe it’s because [name_m]Graham[/name_m] is a surname-y name, which is popular, and has the easy nn [name_m]Gray[/name_m], which is also popular.
