Help[Opinions] Re: Bruce or Graham
in reply to a message by Tiggs
Great, so we pronounce Graham the same. Not a big fan of the "Gram" pronunciation. Never thought about the double Ms with flow, interesting point. Mitchell is my maiden name so that one's not changing. Given that it will be primarily fn LN flow, I'm more worried about Bruce Boyd vs Graham Boyd.
Their big 3yo sister is Morgan Stella. We told her awhile back that her brother's name may be Bruce, and now we're having a hard time getting it out of her head!

I've never heard the pronunciation GRAY-um before. I've only heard GRAM before so the GRAY-um pronunciation seems weird to me. Maybe it will grow on me over night. I'll see tomorrow.

Well, with Boyd as the surname (I didn't assume that from your posting name.), I vote for Graham Mitchell Boyd. Graham Boyd flows and sounds far better, to my ear, than does Bruce Boyd, not that Bruce Boyd is bad. The slightly sticky "m"-"M" transition isn't difficult to say; just makes me pay attention to my lips and, as you point out, it's his first and last name that will be said most of the time.
Maybe when the twins are born, big sister, Morgan, could have a new male baby doll named Bruce to mother. :)
