Names that feel like the color "gray"?

drfox · January 21, 2023, 10:13pm

I love boy names that make me think of the color gray. Not a cold, hard, gray like “Steele”, I think of soft, soothing, whispery, comforting names. Names like [name_u]Seth[/name_u], [name_u]London[/name_u], [name_u]Elijah[/name_u], [name_u]Timothy[/name_u], [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u], [name_u]Noah[/name_u], [name_m]Cassiel[/name_m], [name_m]Esmond[/name_m], [name_m]Julius[/name_m] etc. Names that evoke cozy blankets, drizzly rain, thick foggy days and steaming cups of tea, poetry, mystery, gentle strength and philosophy.

[name_m]Can[/name_m] you help me think of some more names that evoke the color gray??
(GPs are totally welcome!)
