What things come to your mind when you hear the name Grant?

I have a step-son whose name is. curiously, Alexander Grant. I love him.

I think of the literal meaning of the word ‘grant.’

I think of $5.00 US.

I like the name.

Do you mean the fifty, @jaytkay?

My first thought was Grant Wood (positive).
My second thought was Ulysses S. (positive)
My third was Hugh Grant (mixed).

So, overall pretty good name, I hope it goes well with the Last Name.

High school buddy, he had two brothers and a sister.

@Jeruba Yes, I meant fifty.

Jeez, I’m from Illinois, you’d think I would know Grant from Lincoln

Grant Alexander has a distinct air to it. Alex as a first name I wouldn’t do but that might be because of the Alex and Alexia Lexie’s I know.

Or because it bears a resembalance to Alexander the Great. Oh hey Xander… total Buffy moment. I never actually met a Xander, or a Buffy Willow Or Angel for that matter. Maybe that is why Seth didn’t belong, his name was too nomral.

Moving along. Yes Grant Alexander or the opposite.

The first thing I think about is Grant’s tomb. The second is a boy who used to be a piano student with my son’s teacher.

My college roommate’s first boyfriend. He looked like a cross between Rick Astley and Tony Robbins. Wow, was he annoying.

Ulysses S. Grant was my initial thought.

Now that I know the context, I think it is a nice first name for a boy. It sounds strong, isn’t overly used and isn’t way out in left field. I like Alexander, but I think I prefer Grant.

Hugh Grant
Cary Grant
Ulysses S Grant
Pell Grant

Grant is a good name, I like it. Alexander Grant makes me think of Alexander Graham Bell. I like Grant Alexander.

My step-son, Alexander Grant, goes by Grant.

It’s a nice strong name. Hearing it makes me think of ‘grant me a wish’...

I think of government grants and how I wish the government would grant me a grant to observe the daily life cycle of Chinese Geese. haha

Ulysses S. Grant was first. Then a person I know whose name is grant.

Free money.

@gailcalled Wow what a coincidence, and a great name! I love those two names together, his parents have good taste :) Love it

Judy, Judy.

Eastenders I don’t watch it but my mum did when I was living with her and there was a character called Grant Mitchell.

Ulysses. Also a loser I know named Grant.
