Gregory

For some reason Gregory has suddenly grown on me. You hardly hear it belonging to anyone under 45.

I think it is due a revival. It is also a classic, but a neglected one.

Terrible!

Stephieee · 29/01/2016 22:23

I like it :)

I love it and wanted in in our shortlist but my DP can't see past Greggs. Mind you "going a bit Greggs" is shorthand in our couple speak for "getting a bit low blood sugar hangry while out and needing to shove down a sausage roll or some other instant hot baked goods ASAP"

Good point Don't I've known a good few Gregors and they never got Greg as a nn.

KoalaDownUnder · 29/01/2016 13:49

I think it's awful.

DontKillMyVibe · 29/01/2016 13:27

Like Gregor. Not keen on Gregory or Greg. Think Gregor would less likely to be shortened than Gregory would

Herrerarerra · 29/01/2016 01:15

I'm with Jings and Crystal here. Really don't like it.

Izzyathome · 29/01/2016 01:12

Love Gregor. Don't like Gregory or Greg much - old fashioned but not in a good way.

JingsAndCrivens · 29/01/2016 00:31

Yikes! Awful name. I can see why it's been neglected.

FfionFlorist · 28/01/2016 15:06

Beautiful, classic. Gregory Peck ...shows great age

JellyTotCat · 27/01/2016 20:36

I like it.

Raines100 · 27/01/2016 20:35

I have a Gregory. Only one in his year group. Have had some lovely comments, and he loves his name. Best name ever! Grin

cecilelliott · 27/01/2016 19:32

This is a lovely name! And reminds me of Gregory House (swoon...)

Go for it!

Twinkie1 · 27/01/2016 11:09

Love it.

I know one who is now 21 and he's a lovely lovely young man.

I may have different feelings if he were a shitbag though.

CrystalMcPistol · 27/01/2016 10:55

Just to add a dissenting voice, I think it's really dreadful. As is Gregor.

sofato5miles · 27/01/2016 10:40

I love it! Was on my list.

CaoNiMao · 27/01/2016 10:35

Gregory is a lovely name, but the inevitable nickname 'Greg' is unfortunately less pleasant.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 27/01/2016 09:21

*little!

BendydickCuminsnatch · 27/01/2016 09:21

Yep. I suggested Gregory to somebody on here a year or 2 ago - she used it and thanked me! Made my life. I mean, how cool that there's a litter Gregory running around after I suggested it??? Love the name.

VeryPunny · 27/01/2016 09:06

I love Gregory but mainly because I had a crush on a lovely Greg when I was a student. Great name.

tinofbiscuits · 27/01/2016 09:05

I agree it's due a revival.

Eigg · 27/01/2016 00:03

Another Scot voting for Gregor.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 26/01/2016 23:56

I love the name Gregory Smile
