Gregory = Greggs?

Discussing baby names for DC2 with DH last night.

I suggested Gregory. DH said that we couldn't name a child Gregory, as everyone would think that we'd named him after Greggs (the bakers, famous for it's sausage rolls and other pasties).

So, this question is for anyone who, like us, lives in or near a town / city that boasts at least one Greggs bakery shop.

If you met a little boy called Gregory, would you think that his parents had named him after Greggs?

Lovely name (vetoed here by DH because it was the name of his first school (St Gregory's). It would never, ever cross my mind that Greggs would be the inspiration.

You have my sympathy OP. My DH is prone to coming up with absolutely ridiculous veto reasons like this one.

Nope wouldn't think that. I like Gregor too.
