Jonathan Grayson?

What do you all think of [name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Grayson[/name]? The name just popped into my head and I really like it, but is it too in your face with the Confederate meaning? [name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Jackson[/name] and Confederate [name]Gray[/name]? I do have a love for older, obscure names, cowboy/cowgirl names, well, good names in general will make me swoon. Any suggestions and comments are welcome :smiley:

I wouldnā€™t have made that connection if you didnā€™t point it out. I agree with the previous comment, though. [name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Gray[/name] sounds a bit better than [name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Grayson[/name]. The -an/-on endings together isnā€™t ideal.

[name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Jackson[/name]? What?
[name]Robert[/name] [name]Gray[/name] or [name]Rebel[/name] [name]Gray[/name] or [name]Jefferson[/name] [name]Gray[/name] or [name]Davis[/name] [name]Gray[/name] or [name]Lee[/name] [name]Gray[/name] = sure, confederate.
Somehow [name]Jonathan[/name] missed this non-Yankee in history classes growing up.
[name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Grayson[/name] is handsome. The double -n doesnā€™t bother me too much. I can see the rhythm of [name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Gray[/name] being better, but maybe thatā€™s even more confederate?

Oh wait, [name]Stonewall[/name]? Yeah, Iā€™d venture Iā€™m not alone in not knowing his first name was [name]Jonathan[/name]. And googling around it looks like he was [name]Thomas[/name] [name]Jonathan[/name] technically anyway?

[name]Love[/name] [name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Grayson[/name]!I didnā€™t think of anything Confederate-related, and I actually like the double -n endings in this name, although I usually donā€™tā€¦

I donā€™t get a Confederate vibe from [name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Grayson[/name] at all. Youā€™re overthinking it. :slight_smile:

I do prefer [name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Gray[/name] though. [name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Grayson[/name] isnā€™t bad, the flow just feels a little off.

[name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Grayson[/name] feels like a first name surname combination to me. I think [name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Gray[/name] or [name]Graham[/name] would have a better flow as well.

[name]Grayson[/name] is too trendy.

[name_m]Stonewall[/name_m]Ā“s fullname is [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] ā€œ[name_m]Stonewall[/name_m]ā€ [name_m]Jackson[/name_m], IĀ“m just used to saying it fast (IĀ“m a history fanatic) I bearly even notice that people usually donĀ“t know his middle is [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m], my bad!
Thanks for all the suggestions though! :slight_smile:
