Thoughts on the name Gresham for baby boy

We were throwing around names for baby #4 and the name Gresham came up. We both initially liked it but is it too strange/out there? Big brothers are Th@tcher, C@llum, and H@rris. We’d appreciate your honest feedback! Thanks in advance!

WOW i’ve never ever heard this name anywhere else before, but it’s my brother’s name so i feel i can give you the deets. i think it’s so so very handsome and just a wonderful boys’ name that has strong sounds and yet simultaneously sounds very academic. i will say though that he sometimes gets people who first call him [name_u]Grayson[/name_u] or [name_f]Gretchen[/name_f] :rofl: but i think it’s such a wonderful surname name and would love to see more people with it!!! best of luck!

and also it fits wonderfully with the rest of your sibset! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

It fits wonderfully with the sibset! I’m pretty ‘meh’ on the sound of it, but I think it goes perfectly with the brothers you have! I don’t think it’s too strange at all.

I think it fits very nicely with your other kids.

This is really lovely with your boy’s names. It took me a moment to wrap my head around because Gresham is the name of a city not too far from me and I had to work through the association, but this seems like a great choice for your family.

It’s not my favorite because of the harsh sound, but it could work. It’s reminiscent of [name_m]Graham[/name_m] and [name_u]Grey[/name_u].

Gresham is interesting and I think it fits perfectly with your kids

I think it fits nicely with your sibset :slight_smile: I’m not a big fan of its sound, though.

Wow, I’ve never heard this one before! I actually really like it. It is unusual and out there, but definitely not for the worse. As everyone else has said, it fits in so perfectly with your other boys. :heart_eyes:

Yes! I love the name Gresham! I think it’s unique without sounding weird. It has solid kind of feel, and with its similarity to [name_m]Graham[/name_m] I feel like it would fit in with today’s trends but still feel fresh and is a great way to get the nn [name_u]Grey[/name_u]

Thanks so much for all the input, everyone!!

It has a nice sound and a relaxed sort of vibe. I think it’s quite nice!

I have never heard of it. Not going to lie, it made me think of Gangnam (the district in Korea and thst song Gangnam style) or Gotham as in Batman. But that’s probably just me!

I really love [name_m]Graham[/name_m] and this feels like it could be a modern version. I think despite my brain associating it with these random place names at first glance, it could grow on me. I like that its different but established.
