Not wrong. For me, Grey is a colour, Gray is an American surname.
Except for Grey’s Anatomy. The Americans had to concede with that one because of the book, but I’m sure Americans thought it was exotic. That’s why they called the other show House and not Condo. Marketability.
I thought House was because it sounds like “home” and that sounds like Holmes, and the character/show of House is based on the Sherlock Holmes stories.
I’ve always thought of it as “grEy” is English and “grAy” is American.

It’s actually a reference to Brick House, the lyrics:
"Ow, she’s a brick house
She’s mighty-mighty, just lettin’ it all hang out. She’s a brick house. That lady’s stacked and that’s a fact. Ain’t holding nothing back"
Referring to the demeanor of Dr.House and how he lets it all hang out, and holds nothing back.
:P
It’s actually called house because he breaks into people’s houses
Ah, that makes much more sense. TIL
Sounds more like a reference to Cuddy.
This is how I think of it as well. I spell the color with an e, and Gray is a name in my extended family.
Grey is colour and gray is color
