Opinions on Guy and Gregory?

[ByThePowerOfRa]

Guy
Gregory

I’d never considered either of these before, but Dh has just suggested them for dc2 (due January) and I actually think I really like them. I’ve never met a child with either name, so wonder what others think?

We’d also consider Gregor, though neither of us is Scottish, so don’t know if that would work. I’m (mainly) Irish (it’s rather complicated). Dh is English.

[AdaColeman]

I like Guy very much.
Have you considered Giles, another of my favourites?

[Mouthfulofquiz]

I know people with both names and really like them and their names!

[GinwithCucumber]

I like them both.

Giles is a bit too fake uppity or something.

[ByThePowerOfRa]

Thanks all. Glad they aren’t universally reviled!

I’ve suggested Giles, Miles and Gus (Angus or Fergus on bc), but Dh isn’t keen on them.

[Uhohmummy]

Guy - fantastic name. Absolutely love it.

[LarkDescending]

Guy is fabulous.

But then I also love Giles, Miles and Angus. This might be my dream name thread!

I have a lovely colleague named Gregory (always Greg) but personally I prefer Gregor.

[TheVanguardSix]

Love them both.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Love Guy.

Much more mainstream than Gregory which is a bit bleugh.

[WhatKatyDidNotDo]

Love Guy- really cool.
Like Gregor- reminds me of a Viking- isn't there someone in Game of Thrones with this name?
Hate Gregory- awful.

[17caterpillars1mouse]

I always think Guy sounds smarmy so not a fan

Love Gregory though especially with Rory as a nn

[BobbinThreadbare123]

My name's Guy.
Guy Secretan.

[MacaroonMama]

I know a lovely mum whose youngest is Guy, short for Gaius! Think that is pretty fab!

Gregory was my house at school (they were all named after saints with Midlands associations, this was Gregory the Great!)

I think I prefer Guy. But both are solid names.

I keep reading Giles with a hard ‘g’ sound because of Guy and Gregory 😂
I like Gregory, I’m less keen on Guy but if I knew you I’d probably get used to it quickly enough.
