But only since i dated someone with that name and his mom was British and he insisted Gram was wrong and would get upset if i pronounced his name wrong! Before that i used to say Gram. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-the-name-graham/page/2#post-2037314 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:45:08 +0000 lilyann 2037314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO2's name is Graham and we pronounce it Gram. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-the-name-graham/page/2#post-2037180 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 09:48:09 +0000 LuLu Mom 2037180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gram, I'm in the Midwest, only way I've heard it pronounced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-the-name-graham/page/2#post-2037016 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 07:48:20 +0000 Annette 2037016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pronounce it Gram, but have heard it prpronounced gray-ham when travelling abroad (Mexico, southeast Asia) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-the-name-graham/page/2#post-2036945 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 03:59:12 +0000 Ree723 2036945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say gram, because I'm American and that's how we say it, but every time I have ever had to say the name in Australia or the UK, I have been made fun of beyond belief! DH and several of my English friends regularly tease me about it. I am working on saying Gray-um but it still sounds so awkward so I try to avoid saying it as much as possible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-the-name-graham/page/2#post-2036943 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 03:56:28 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2036943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gram :heart: I've never heard of Gray-um! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-the-name-graham/page/2#post-2036925 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 01:59:58 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2036925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend who lives in Australia, and her dad's name was Graeme-it was the first time I'd heard it pronounced Gray-em instead of like the cracker. However, friends of ours in Chicago refer to their Graham as Gray-em...even though we all call him Gram (like the cracker). Very interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-the-name-graham/page/2#post-2036924 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 01:49:30 +0000 FannyMae 2036924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>gray-um. never ever heard it pronounced as gram in australia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-the-name-graham/page/2#post-2036909 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 01:26:12 +0000 mrskc 2036909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say gram too. Never heard of the other pronunciation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-the-name-graham/page/2#post-2036906 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 01:08:54 +0000 Sapphiresun 2036906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: I was going to say exactly the same. I definitely don't say it Gram, but nothing as obvious as the pronunciation in the video. It's just like a subtle e sound before the am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-the-name-graham/page/2#post-2036894 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 00:09:45 +0000 PurplePeony 2036894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I pronounce it somewhere in between -- sort of like gram but with a soft double syllable. So, gra-am where the dash is just a very quick break in the "a" sound...if that makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-the-name-graham/page/2#post-2036888 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 23:40:00 +0000 PinkElephant 2036888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gram unless I was in the Southeast. A family friend's dog is Graham (named after the town in NC) and she says Grey-am but that's just her accent! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-the-name-graham#post-2036865 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 23:02:24 +0000 yellowbird 2036865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard it pronounced gray-em!

I'm on the East Coast...my family is from the Midwest which is where my pronunciation influence comes from. I'd actually never really heard it pronounced Gram til one of the guys on the Bachelorette said it that way on tv.
