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.

Guy is a great name, Gregory not so much...

Love Guy.
Not keen on Gregory.

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.

I like them both.

Giles is a bit too fake uppity or something.

Mouthfulofquiz · 18/11/2017 20:53

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

AdaColeman · 18/11/2017 20:52

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

Heratnumber7 · 18/11/2017 20:52

Like Gregory a bit. Prefer it shortened to Gregory.
