原I love this name; we chose it for our son. I have a famous name (if you understand my username then you will get it) and so we were careful when we chose this one. The Harry Potter reference comes up but is not a super duper common. Most folks tell us that it is an original name and that they love it. It has been a big hit with folks my age.
原I have a biased view of this name, it being mine and all. But it's been a great ice breaker of a name. People asking wither or not I actually like the franchises it's associated with. The nicknames have never really been a problem.
原I personally think Griffin is a wonderful name. I have a great friend named Griffin, and he loves Harry Potter. He doesn't mind being called Gryffindor or Griff Griff on occasion. It's a name that portrays strength and leadership, even in the most geekiest of males.
原My name is Griffin and yes, I do hear many times my name referred to Griffindor from Harry Potter. Yes, it is annoying but currently the comparison to Peter Griffin is more annoying. I have not gotten invested into either Harry Potter or Family Guy, so this is often very annoying to me. (I'm 16 years old by the way).
原I don't understand why people are so cruel. Just because you don't prefer the name doesn't mean you are obligated to bash on it and make people feel bad. DO NOT compare it to a smoker's cough or an idiot or coffin. I would not name a child this name but I would a dog, for example.

原My daughter has picked out Griffin... I love it... strong and very masculine...
原When naming a child you always have to run through how the name will sound throughout the various stages of their lives, from infant to adulthood. It's also worth thinking through possible nicknames that will be created and assigned by their peers. Griffin is cute for a baby boy. It transitions well through the young child and teenage years as it will undoubtedly be shortened to "Griff." It's unique enough to give them individuality during the college and young adult years. Then, as an adult, it gives a grown man a youthful sounding name. A great benefit to this name is the fact that your Griffin will never encounter a female with the same name. That's becoming a rare quality in a male name as people are more commonly assigning females with popular male names. Names like "Andy, Michael, James, Randy, etc" that have traditionally been boy names are very commonly given to girls now. The name Griffin is so hyper-masculine that I don't imagine the trend will go that far.

格里芬，从电影男子在黑色3的clairvoyant外星人。
原Griffin, the clairvoyant alien from the movie Men in Black 3.
原I like this name- it reminds me of someone chivalrous and heroic, just like a medieval knight. And, nerd alert, it reminds me of Gryffindor from Harry Potter. The Griffin in mythology is a very interesting and cool connection.
原Whether you like it or not it is a Welsh name. It has been in usage in England since Norman times. There are no such things as "American" names so listing it as such would be inaccurate.
原Love this name! It's handsome, masculine, and not too common. I don't think kids will associate it with Harry Potter. The Harry Potter craze is dying down, so by the time Griffin turns 8, kids probably won't even know what Harry Potter is.
Or maybe I'm wrong and he's set up for a lifetime of teasing. I still love it though.
原Sounds very masculine. I like some surnames as first names for boys. It's refreshing from all the usual boy names that get seriously overused (think Michael, David, John, Joshua, etc).
原Personally, I think it would be a good idea to further explain the etymology of the English word 'Griffin' (sometimes also spelled as griffon and gryphon - griffoun in Middle English).
According to Merriam Webster, the word first entered the English language via Anglo-French, as 'grif' and/or 'griffun'. Anglo-French in turn had adopted the word from Latin 'gryphus', which in turn came from Greek 'gryp-' and/or 'gryps' (or 'gryphon' or 'grypon', according to Wikipedia).
According to other sources, Greek 'gryps' (sometimes also written as 'grups') is derived from 'grupos' (γρυπός), which means "hooked, curved" or even "hook-nosed".
So, to make a long story short... when someone named Griffin takes his name from the mythological creature (rather than from the Welsh name Gruffudd), his name's meaning is ultimately "hooked, curved" or "hook-nosed".
原I've always thought this was such a cool name. I'm 15 and I don't associate this name with Harry Potter at all. Not all young people like Harry Potter... But I think that this is a great, unique, cool, and strong name. I have a friend named Griffin and he gets complimented on it all the time :)

译 当命名一个孩子，你总是要通过这个名字在整个生命的各个阶段，从婴儿到成年。它也值得思考可能的昵称，将由他们的同行创建和分配。 Griffin对于一个男婴是可爱的。它通过幼儿和青少年过渡得很好，因为它无疑会缩短为“Griff”。它独特的足以在大学和年轻成年期间给他们个性。然后，作为一个成年人，它给一个成年人一个年轻的声音名字。这个名字的一个很大的好处是，你的格里芬永远不会遇到同名的女性。这成为一个男性名字罕见的质量，因为人们更常将女性称为受欢迎的男性名字。像“安迪，迈克尔，詹姆斯，兰迪等”，传统上是男孩的名字的名字，现在很常见的给女孩。名字格里芬是如此的超男性，我不想像的趋势会走那么远。

译 就个人而言，我认为进一步解释英语单词“Griffin”（有时在中古英语中被拼写为griffon和gryphon-griffoun）的词源是一个好主意。\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e根据Merriam Webster的说法，首先通过英语 - 法语输入英语，作为'grif'和/或'griffun'。英语 - 法语反过来采用了拉丁语“gryphus”的词，后者又来自希腊语“gryp-”和/或“gryps”（或者“gryphon”或“grypon”，根据维基百科）。\u003cbr\u003e \u003c br\u003e根据其他来源，希腊语的“gryps”（有时也写为“grups”）源自“grupos”（γρυπός），意思是“钩，弯曲”或甚至“钩子”。 \u003e因此，要使一个长的故事短...当有人命名格里芬从他的名字从神话生物（而不是从威尔士名字Gruffudd），他的名字的意思是最终“钩，弯曲”或“钩鼻子”。
According to Merriam Webster, the word first entered the English language via Anglo-French, as 'grif' and/or 'griffun'. Anglo-French in turn had adopted the word from Latin 'gryphus', which in turn came from Greek 'gryp-' and/or 'gryps' (or 'gryphon' or 'grypon', according to Wikipedia).
