I am massively going round in circles here... but... thoughts in these two? Baby due in 3 weeks, don't know the sex!

Which sounds best with the surname?

Prefer Greg to Fran/Frank.

Gregor Badger or Francis Badger
Greg Badger or Fran(k) Badger?

Both are great! I think I prefer Francis

Really dislike Francis. Its a 'wet' sounding name.

Gregor is fab.

DramaAlpaca · 27/08/2020 21:40

I love Gregor.

Francis is OK but middle name territory only for me as I don't like any of the diminutives. I think of Fran as a girls' name.

Prefer Gregory to Gregor. Fran is cute too though. Greg is an underrated name, agree with PP.

Love Gregor (not keen on Greg, though)
Don't like Francis at all.

Gregor

Theyweretheworstoftimes · 27/08/2020 21:06

I like Gregor.

Gregory was on my list. Underrated name.

I think I like Greg more than frank but do really like fran as a nickname (massive travis fan in my day!). I had considered using them both as a first and middle name, but worried it is a bit too many Pope names!!

Francis

I like them both. What do you prefer for a nickname, Greg or Frank? Because that’s probably what his mates will call him as he gets older, even if you insist on the full name as a child.
