Grady = meh I prefer Brady
Glenn is my father's name. I feel it looks nicer with two N's, but maybe just cuz I am used to it. Glenn is good as a mn. It is quite dated and seems more like a dad name to me... and the only famous Glenn is Glenn Close (a woman!).
I adore Gus. It could be a nn for Angus or August/Augustus/Augustin.

WoW! I'm impressed by your list of famous, successful Glen's!!!
Thanks for your research...I will never look at Glen/Glenn the same way again
Also, Thanks to All for helping me narrow down my "G" name...I was recently really bummed when someone commented that the name Grady reminded her of the word 'degrading'...I thought that was a stretch...but, no mom-to-be wants her baby 'degraded'.
But thanks to everyone who posted comments, I feel like there are some really nice choices to consider my little guy!!!
