When I hear Gregor, I think of moustaches and big furry Russian hats. Sorry.

As pp have said, the two 'y' sound a bit twee! Bethan and Gregory gets my vote.

I don't agree that Bethan is classier than Bethany.

Still think just Beth and Greg.

DiegeticMuch · 20/10/2016 22:36

I love Bethan. So much classier than Bethany.

Gregory and Gregor are equally good. Strong names.

Bethany and Gregor
Sorry Smile
Not sorry

Bethan and Gregor

Bethan and Gregory.

Don't give them twee matchy names.

user1471461752 · 18/10/2016 19:26

Of your options Bethan and Gregor as the two y sounding names sound rhymey and not quite right together.

However I like them mixed up and would go for Bethany and Gregor.

Congrats on your twin pregnancy. When are you due? We are expecting twins also, although we don't know their sex we do know they are either boys or girls, not one of each. Thinking of names is hard!

InsertUsernameHere · 18/10/2016 18:59

Depends where you live - outside Scotland people will assume the boy is Gregory even if he's Gregor. In Scotland the reverse.

heateallthebuns · 18/10/2016 18:57

Bethan and Gregory. If you're going to shorten them to Beth and Greg anyway why does it matter if they both end y or not? You're hardly ever going to say the names together anyway, it'll be 'the twins' until the have their own identities and are not discussed as one anymore!!!!

maitaimojito · 18/10/2016 18:54

Bethan and Gregor. I really don't like the two 'y' endings.

JasonDerulo · 18/10/2016 18:53

Bethan and Gregory

YouJustWouldntLetItLieWouldYa · 18/10/2016 18:49

Conniedescending · 18/10/2016 18:48

Or Beth and Greg, forgot to say, I really like all permutations of those names. Good choices.

Muser54321 · 18/10/2016 18:43

How many syllables in your sur name?

I like Bethan more than Bethany but I like both
I like Gregory more than Gregor but I like both.

UnicornPee · 18/10/2016 18:43

Both horrible names I'm afraid. Gregory especially
There's so many nicer names out there

NotYoda · 18/10/2016 18:40

Elizabet and Gregory

Plumbobby · 18/10/2016 17:27

To be fair, it's personal preference... Hmm

Notso · 18/10/2016 17:09

Bethan and Gregor by miles.

The 'y' names are too matchy-matchy twinny-twinny

cbigs · 18/10/2016 17:09

I find Gregor a bIt stuffy to be honest , I think Bethan and Gregory. Maybe you and dp need to work on that flexible mind op and give them the nicest individual names? You don't want to saddle one with a less nice name for some rule you've made that won't matter once they're born anyway but I think Beth and Greg are lovely!

Plumbobby · 18/10/2016 17:01

Bethany & Gregory Smile

minipie · 18/10/2016 16:58

Bethan and Gregory

Or Bethany and Gregory if they have to match

Really don't like Gregor (love Gregory though! And Bethany)
