I’ve seen some confusion about his name. The name is easy to understand in Japanese, but for those who don’t know the language, it’s more complicated. Therefore I am going to try and break it down as best as I can.
His name is: グレージュ Gureju (Romaji), Greige (English)
GREY (color) in Japanese: グレー (Gurē) BEIGE(color) in Japanese: ベージュ (Bēju)
Put them together and you get Gureju/Greigeグレージュ As such, Gureju/Greige is a COLOR of its own that combines the two colors grey and beige. The English pronunciation is pretty self explanatory: it’s “beige” but with “gr” instead of “b”.
Parent’s names: グレイGurei (Gray) ジュビアJubia (Juvia) Put them together and you get the same name as above: グレー(Gure/Gre)ジュ(ju/ige)
*Note: グレーandグレイ are the same thing, they both mean Grey/Gray. Think of it as different spelling.
In case some people don’t know what the color greige looks like, here are some different shades of it.
So like Gray and Silver, the (edo) Gruvia son is named after a color, and at the same time, is a combination of Gray and Juvia’s actual names. Also when you search グレージュ on Google images or twitter, you’ll see many Japanese people showing off their grey/beige (greige) colored hair.
Anyway, his name is no weirder than many other FT character names. And honestly the name is impressive once you understand it. A color AND combination of Gray and Juvia’s names. Neat!
Now the question is… will Mashima keep this name or change it for the earthland version? ;) I am so happy this precious baby boy is canon in the manga in some way. ;-; Since Edolas is a parallel world when it comes to characters, we now await the real/original world version, lol. Gray and Juvia are in love after all, hehe~
Hope this explanation helped!
Is it an ugly name? Yes.
So is Gajeel and Laxus. We just got used to them.
Baby Greg is cute though. <3
Could’ve been worse but it could’ve been better. The point is:
edo-GRUVIA SON IS CANON, now we wait for Earthland’s (hopefully with a prettier name lol)
Greige Surge sounds either like a masculine energy drink marketed exclusively to the surfer bro culture
Or a men’s all in one body wash scent that smells suspiciously like new car smell.
In all seriousness, I get it. The gimmick in the Fullbuster/Surge names is that they’re colors, specifically dull colors. It’s fine though. I’m pretty sure we’ll only see him once or twice more.
Some fan names are better than what we got. I’ve see Azure, Magenta, and Rose. I myself have used Argent. But hey. At least we got a gruvia kid.
“What are your thoughts about marriage Lucy?” Erza asked her blonde teammate who was busy running her hand through Natsu’s hair to soothe his pain.
“I think it’s a beautiful commitment!” She answered with a gleam in her brown eyes, “and I wait for the day when a very handsome pri-” Lucy was cut off by an inaudible groan from Natsu, though, the stellar mage almost felt like the dragon slayer had interrupted her on purpose.
“Tch that bastard never fails to irritate someone,” the ice mage rolled his eyes while his shirt followed his jacket on the floor of their compartment.
Lucy sighed, “it’s fine Gray. He’s in pain too you know…”
“Unfortunately he can’t do anything about his sickness. So let him be.” Erza turned to her other side and gently patted the blunette’s shoulder, “Wendy, are you okay?”
“Y-Yeah…Erza-san…I’m just a…bit dizzy..” Wendy barely managed to look at the redhead and smiled or at least she tried to. The requip mage comfortingly laid the young dragon slayer on her lap, unlike most of the times how she almost crushed people’s head on her armor clad chest and the bluenette groaned again.
“I wish there was a way to help these two,” she said in a concerned voice, “especially Wendy…” Lucy fondly smiled at the mother-like attitude of Titania and reassured her, “don’t worry. Wendy has gotten strong and she can handle it just fine. So can Natsu.”
“By the way Lucy,” Gray spoke up, “you once told us that your father had fixed your marriage with someone. Who was that guy?” Lucy could practically see the devil slayer’s curiosity sparkling in his eyes, the blonde key mage sighed.
“Yeah it was the famous businessman Duke Sawarr,” she swore she could almost puke at the mere thought of that lecherous man. Maybe she shouldn’t have answered the question…
“The one who later bought the whole Heartfilia estate?” Erza asked, Lucy nodded and the raven haired ice mage gaped. “Then you can just marry him and become the owner of the mansion again,” he suggested and glanced at the sick dragon slayer on Lucy’s lap with a devious grin, “I’m sure he still wants to marry you…”
The blonde mage glared at her team mate from across her seat and yelled, “as if! Do you even know what kinda man that guy is?!” She had yet again ignored how the pinkette’s hand had slightly pressed on her thigh, maybe she was imagining things… or maybe not.
Gray cackled up, “chill Lucy. I was just kidding!” He then looked at the fire mage again and smirked, “you know I love to pester people…” Lucy knew that certainly there was something going on in his mind but she was clueless as to what it had to do with Natsu. But she dismissed her thoughts for the time being, deciding she would think about it after reaching the destination of the job.

They reached the town after an hour. Wendy jumped in joy as she finally got down from her worst nightmare. But Lucy observed the other dragon slayer closely, he seemed distant somehow unlike every other time he would blabber about never using any transportation again after their train journey ended and it concerned the blonde. What was wrong with him?
She walked over to him and placed her hand on his shoulder, “Natsu are you alright? You’re acting strange…”
“Nah it’s nothing…” the fire mage pretty much awkwardly answered, scratching the back of his head. Just as Lucy was about to question Natsu further, he himself spoke up, “So the Duke Sawarr guy…you know the one you were talking about…”
Suddenly realisation hit Lucy and her face heated up. So she hadn’t imagined things after all! And was the mighty and great Salamander of Fairy Tail jealous? Was Natsu Dragneel jealous? Oh my!
“Yeah what about him?” Lucy asked as if she didn’t get the implications.
“Luce don’t you even dare think about marrying him!” He burst out and then quickly added, “we can get the mansion back in other ways.”
“I know and I absolutely won’t marry him you dummy,” she laughed and then shyly crossed her arms behind her back.
“Right…you deserve better Luce,” Natsu reasoned making Lucy blush further. It had been years since they had started dancing around the lines of friendship and love and the key mage didn’t want to stay like that anymore.
“Like who?” She eyed his conflicting emotions and it felt like he was unsure of something. Almost as if he didn’t know whether he should say something or not.
“Someone who can protect you, make you feel safe and happy, someone who’ll love you to the sun and then moon ans then back. Lastly someone who won’t ever leave you alone….” he sadly trailed off at the last part and Lucy’s heart clenched painfully at the bitter memory.

Lucy looked at her pinkette partner, he was being goofy again while watching the tv of their hotel room. But she could feel he was tensed somehow and of course it had to do with their earlier conversation since they hadn’t gotten the chance to finish talking due to Erza interrupting them.
“Luce,” Lucy snapped back to reality and she realised she had been lost in her own world while staring at Natsu. “What’s wrong weirdo?” He asked.
“Uhmm…it’s nothing. I guess I spaced out,” she awkwardly laughed, a lame try to lighten the mood. “I think I’ll just take a quick shower!” Lucy almost ran to the bathroom with whatever clothes she managed to grab from her luggage and Natsu watched her warily. But before she could shut the door behind her, she heard Natsu’s voice.
“I’ll try harder, not to repeat my mistakes and to become someone worthy,” he said. Lucy held her breath, waiting for what he would say next. “I will, that I promise Luce.” The celestial mage felt the sheer sincerity in his voice and smiled, though, not turning his way for once.
“I trust you Natsu,” she stated slowly closing the door and the last words Natsu heard before a large grin took pver his face were, “I always have. Ever since I joined the guild.”
Can we appreciate that after a years training, Natsu, without even trying, was able to melt a stone stadium?
Like the power behind that is immense!
If we want to get all science-y about it, then stones melting point is around 1500 degrees Celsius, or about 2750 degrees Fahrenheit (depending, obviously, on the composition of the stone).
Let’s put that into perspective; the hottest planet in the solar system is Venus, with temperatures reaching about 475 degrees Celsius (900 degrees Fahrenheit) and that is hot enough to melt lead, a human body would simply evaporate in such conditions.
The temperature of a lava flow is usually around 700 degrees to 1250 degrees Celsius (2000 degrees Fahrenheit).
The fact that he can reach temperatures far beyond this is insane, and the ability to control such incredible heat, even more so.
No wonder Lucy panicked and evacuated the entire stadium, that’s around a 5th of the sun’s surface temperature.
“L-Lucy get away from him!” Came Natsu’s high-pitched scream as the boy helplessly struggled to get on his feet. But his legs gave out everytime not ever listening to him. The fire dragon slayer’s whole body was covered with litter and many many bruises, it was actually a wonder he didn’t die yet. But Natsu was sure to die if something happened to the blonde stellar mage standing between him and his dragon brother.
Lucy firmly stood in her position, her arms wide open and ready to embrace any fatal attack before it reached Natsu. The blonde knew she was of no use against a dragon god. But she couldn’t possibly let Ignia kill Natsu in front of her eyes. Why would she? She loved him for God’s sake! And she would rather die than live a life without Natsu.
“Lucy please!” Natsu writhed on the ground again, completely out of magic power as well as physical strength. Lucy wasn’t going to listen to him and run away. Hadn’t she already told him during their fight with Kain that no matter how bad things turned into, she would never run away alone? Had he forgotten that? Lucy definitely hadn’t.
Ignia was both amused and surprised seeing the blonde’s determination to protect Natsu. None of the three were delusional enough to think she could do anything to stop him, a dragon god. But it didn’t stop the girl from jumping in between a dangerous fight, not caring a bit that he could easily kill her in an instant. She was extremely intriguing… And her smell, it was familiar. Lucy was her name right?
It was her bravery and not her beauty that attracted him the most, not that her curves weren’t a turn on for Ignia but the unwavering look of her eyes caught his attention. He remembered a woman just as dauntless as the girl standing in front of him.
“Don’t you fear your death?” Despite knowing that a question like this would likely never affect the blonde, Ignia’s curiosity was getting the better of him. Maybe he could play with his little brother later and enjoy talking to her instead. “I can kill you if I want,” he lit his palms with fire.
“Do..n’t tou..ch her!” Natsu’s voice cracked in pain.
“I’d rather die than stand in the back and watch you kill Natsu,” Lucy gritted her teeth as she spoke, “yes I may be thousand times weaker than you but I’ll keep fighting until I die!” Tears began to gather in the corner of her eyes out of anger as she thought about how she was so weak compared to others. Why the hell couldn’t she be strong enough to protect the ones she loved?!
The dragon god felt a weird change in atmosphere around them and it was not because of him nor Natsu, who could barely move. It was her, Lucy. Her magic power? She definitely couldn’t be some ordinary celestial wizard, different but extremely similar to the woman he knew once. Anna Heartfilia. Just how could it be? Ignia’s eyes grew wide once realising why her scent felt familiar.
She wasn’t just a girl named Lucy. She was a Heartfilia, the descendant of the strongest celestial wizard Anna Heartfilia. The one who owned ten gold zodiac keys of the thirteen and who could call forth the celestial spitit king himself. Perhaps Lucy Heartfilia didn’t know how much of a great asset she was and the fire dragon god was more than just willing to let her know.
“Guess I’ll be kind for the day and let my brother live. But,” his red eyes bore into Lucy’s chocolate ones, “I’ll be back Lucy Heartfilia,” Ignia watched in sheer amusement as her lips quivered at his announcement. “I love interesting things and,” he eyed her entire being and then continued, “you interest me.”
I know it’s not good, it’s just an unedited version of an idea lol.
Natsu hugged the love of his life from behind and buried his head into her soft blonde hair, “did you miss your dragon?” Lucy grinned leaning her head back on his shoulder. He was such a goofball.
“You were gone for just ten minutes dummy!” She sighed peacefully as one of his calloused hand gently grabbed her waist, the other one holding a box of chocolate bars. “So did you get it?”
“Of course Luce,” he placed a kiss on the sensitive pot behind her ear, Natsu knew how weak it made her. Lucy slowly moved his hand from her waist to her exposed belly, “baby dragon’s hungry and he needs to eat!” Lucy playfully pouted.
Natsu handed his wife what she wanted and watched her eyes sparkling like that of a child’s. The pinkette smiled and rubbed circles on Lucy’s belly while she opened the box, a fluttering feeling taking place in her heart and also her stomach as she giggled.
“Dammit Natsu, just stop worrying about me already!” She rubbed her temples, to calm herself. Nowadays going on a job with Natsu only meant, Lucy got to stand in the back while the dragon slayer would fight the enemies all by himself. Which was infuriating at times, since Lucy too, could fight.
But Natsu had his own rules, he would always say that the blonde didn’t need to ‘risk’ her life for small jobs like the one they had taken today. That she could get hurt and blah blah…
Lucy tolerated his stupid reasonings everytime, convincing herself that he was only worried about her and it was sweet of him to do so. But her patience had been running thin for a while now, only resulting in the current outburst.
It had been weeks since Lucy hadn’t gotten the chance to do any work and she had enough!
“I can’t just stop worrying about you!” The pinkette yelled, giving her a bewildered look.
“I can protect myself, you know!” She shot back and glared at the boy.
“And I know you can,” he admitted, “You can take out guys all by herself… you can do without my help.” The look on his face soon turned into something else, he was… sad? Lucy almost felt guilty about questioning him.
“You lived all by yourself without anyone, for a year… you could and maybe, you can, in future.” The blonde’s chest tightened at the memory but she didn’t dare speak a word.
“It’s me, who can’t live without.. you. I was content, thinking you had people to take care of you. But now when I think of being away… from you, for even a mere second… it’s impossible.. I’m-” The dragon slayer took a deep breath and continued, “I don’t think you’re any weak… never, but I wanna make up for the time we were apart. I wanna take care of you, protect you… I’m sorry….” Natsu trailed off.
“Natsu,” Lucy pulled him to her as she touched his forehead with hers. “It’s okay, I’m sorry, I reacted that way…” she whispered as they breathed in each other’s air.
“It’s not your fault, I just… I can’t stop worrying about you, I can’t even stop thinking of you anymore Lucy…” He confessed, making his partner blush.
Then she moved closer, their lips almost brushing. “Then shut up and kiss me.”
“I love you,” he said, pushing into her deeply and she moaned. Both lost in pure ecstasy as their lips crashed again, tongues sensually rubbing.
“I..love you..too!” She said back, falling over the edge. He soon followed her, rolling over and pulled the girl to his chest. She curled up against him as they both panted to catch their breath.
“I’m hungry,” he whined after sometime and earned a light smack. “Well then mister, make us something!” She shrugged playfully.
“Do you want me to burn down the lovely kitchen, hmm…?” The boy poked at her cheek and grinned when she glared at him. “Don’t you dare!”
“Then let’s make something together, baby,” he suggested and the girl smiled as always. It was more fun when they were together. “I love you, Natsu.”
“I love you even more, Lucy.” He responded with a loving look as he slowly carried her out of the bed and marched towards the kitchen.
“We’re naked!” Lucy giggled.
“As if anyone cares.” He winked at his not-so-embarassed wife.
