Not wrong. For me, Grey is a colour, Gray is an American surname. Except for Grey’s Anatomy. The Americans had to consider 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.

  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

    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.
