[Opinions] Re: How do YOU pronounce Graham?
I pronunce Graham as "GRAM", like graham cracker and the measurement gram. Graeme has always looked like "GRAYME" to me, though, so I instinctively pronunce it as such.I like Graham quite a bit, since I think of Graham Nash, a fantastic musician. I probably wouldn't use it myself, though. Of your combos, I like Graham Walter. Other Graham combos I like include Graham Luca, Graham Ignatius, Graham Vicente, Graham Lewis, and Graham Raining.Array

How do the English get "Wooster" out of "Worcester"? :)This seems to be one of the few instances where it is Americans rather than the British that do use a shortened pronunciation of an ancient place name or surname.

Maybe some Americans. I'm American and say it: Gray-um.
