House names again

You know you don't get the final word (the votes of my family members count the most) but I'm curious to get people's reactions.

Many Canadians still use the British spellings for a lot things. I always spell it "grey" -- "gray" simply doesn't look right.

Ah. Good point. Hadn't thought of that.

Well then, I'm using the "a" in "gray" to go along with the "a" in "gables."

I always spell it "grey" too, and I'm from Illinois. I just think it looks prettier. The "ay" seems so... obvious. I never realized there was a regional difference.
