I had no idea

In other news, Craig isn't Creg either...

In my part of Merica, you'd be Gram. Nobody I know would say Grey ham, though.

How to pronounce a name is interesting, as is the root meaning of names.
Names sounding and spelled quite different depending on region/country to the point one may not see a connection - Lars , my middle name as example is in English - Lawrence/Laurence, from Latin- Laurent/Laurentius

Gravelly home - Grahame

Gram, like the mass measurement, or the cracker.


They taste kind of like a digestive biscuit but there's no digestive stuff, just cinnamon and honey. You toast marshmallows and stick them between a couple with some chocolate to make S'mores

They're not too crumbly. You give them to kids for an easy snack.

Never heard of a "Grey-hem" here. Yikes. I'll miss "Gram Bee" posting here.

Strangely, people in the UK with a deep, deep Black Country/Midlands accent (Birmingham) say it as "Gram".

Oddly enough, people from Birmingham (Alabama) here would be more likely to pronounce "gram" as "gray-um"

Gram or Graim?

I had a boss from Brum who said it as "Gram" but with that "a" as almost an "i" sound he mentions in the video.

Origin of Graham's crackers:

Graham Crackers

Reverend Sylvester Graham thought that a preoccupation with sensual pleasure was a result of a terrible diet. After all, his own diet was quite rigid and bland. Graham was a vegetarian who'd turned his back on spices, tobacco, sugar, and caffeine—or in other words—flavor.

I imagine it rhyming. "Shazam! It's Graham! Golllleeee!"

I’d pronounce it “Gray Am” until otherwise corrected by the owner.
