Beth & Greg are good everyday names - but people will no doubt ask what the names are short for.

If you can cope with that, then fine.

I still think Bethan is a much nicer name than either Bethany or just Beth however Wink.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 17/10/2016 21:57

Bethan and Gregor. Although really I prefer Bethan and Gregory.

Gregory & Gregor are much of a muchness really - but Bethan is a hugely nicer name than Bethany.

What do people think about just Beth and Greg?

Bethan and Gregor.

Bethan and Gregor. I prefer both, with a strong preference for Gregor vs Gregory.

Bethan and Gregory

Definitely not Bethany and Gregory - too matchy matchy! Any other combination is nice, although I personally prefer Gregory to Gregor.

NameChange30 · 17/10/2016 21:45

YY Beth and Greg are good names Smile
Maybe pick the two names you like best as stand-alone names? Because although the twins will grow up together, they will live separately as adults, and the names won't be used together anything like as often as they will be used individually.

Floggingmolly · 17/10/2016 21:44

Bethany and Gregor.

DramaAlpaca · 17/10/2016 21:43

Of your pairings I'd go for Bethan and Gregor.

But I really prefer Bethany and Gregor. Sorry!

daisiesinherfootsteps · 17/10/2016 21:40

Of your two options definitely Bethan and Gregor. Both with the matching 'y' does sound twee IMO. I prefer Bethany and Gregor as a pair though.

Whatever you do they may be Beth and Greg by teens though which are nice too.

chattygranny · 17/10/2016 21:37

I prefer both with the y.

museumum · 17/10/2016 21:37

Nope. Bethany and Gregor are the better names. Sorry.

Bethan and Gregor.

"please can you just decide between the 2 options?"

Can't you just decide, OP?! Wink

The problem with MN is that people don't always do what they're told, some of us prefer to widen our options Smile

Bethan and Gregor, by a country mile. I know a little Gregor - he's lovely. Both great names actually OP.

lemonymelanie · 17/10/2016 21:30

Gregor definitely - so that means Bethan too :-)

NameChange30 · 17/10/2016 21:29

Bethany and Gregory sounds silly, as if you're rhyming them on purpose.

Gregor sounds a bit harsh without the y, somehow. I much prefer Gregory.

Biscuitsneeded · 17/10/2016 21:28

If it must be one of the two, Bethan and Gregor (because I think the repeated 'y' would be twee) BUT I far prefer Bethan and Gregory. Sorry!

badg3r · 17/10/2016 21:27

Bethan and Gregor. I don't like Gregory so much.

bloodymaria · 17/10/2016 21:27

Bethany and Gregor
