Default How to spell Graham?

How would you spell Graham?
I personally like the antique Scottish spelling, Graeme. It is pronounced the same, but I worry a little about people calling him Grayme. Would you call him Graham, Graeme, Gram, Grame, or any other spelling?

As a person with a name that gets mispelled frequently I would go with Graham but I can see why you like Graeme.

My g/f used the "Graeme" spelling. I remember looking at the name going, 'huh, what's his name'...but once I knew it was "Graham" I liked the spelling

I would definitely choose Graham. It is one of my favorite boys' names.

The worst thing you can do to a kid is give a complicated spelling. My first name is Ripleigh instead of Riply. My name is never said right the first time. Believe me it will upset your kid more if they always go around correcting pronunciations especially when they're young.

I would go with Graham. I understand your reasoning for the other spelling but it will definitely get mispronounced and misspelled constantly. JMO.
