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

What do people think about just Beth and Greg?

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.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 17/10/2016 21:59

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.

Bethan and Gregor.

strawberrypenguin · 17/10/2016 22:12

Bethan and Gregor but I agree with other posters that actually I think Bethan and Gregory works best sorry!
Beth and Greg is fine :)

gingerboy1912 · 17/10/2016 22:16

Bethan and Gregor

oleoleoleole · 17/10/2016 22:25

Beth and Greg

QueenLizIII · 18/10/2016 00:09

please can you just decide between the 2 options?

Confused they're YOUR children.

You decide.

ecuse · 18/10/2016 00:15

I would have one with/one without the -y. Either way.

Or Beth and Greg.

wobblywonderwoman · 18/10/2016 00:16

Beth and Greg are better than the other options

leccybill · 18/10/2016 00:19

Just Beth and Greg is best I think.
Both names in their own right.

Pluto30 · 18/10/2016 00:59

Bethan is awful, although I'm willing to accept it might sound better in an accent other than mine. Gregor sounds awful to me too.

So, Bethany and Gregory by default.

WanderingTrolley1 · 18/10/2016 01:35

Bethan and Gregor.

HardcoreLadyType · 18/10/2016 07:25

Bethan is pronounced like Beth-Ann (imagine it with a Welsh lilt), Pluto.

I think it's very pretty.

I always hear Gregor like the character in the one episode of Black Books, where Fran finds her relatives (strong Eastern European accent) but if I imagine it with a Welsh accent, it sounds lovely. (In fact, anything said in a Welsh accent sounds lovely - I could listen to Welsh people talking all day!)

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 18/10/2016 08:50

Bethany and Gregor.

Pipilangstrumpf · 18/10/2016 08:54

Bethany sounds feminine, Bethan sounds masculine to my ears, sorry.

So it would have to be Bethany of the two for me. And I prefer Gregor of the boys options.

Paddingtonthebear · 18/10/2016 09:04

Bethan and Gregory sound better, out of all those combos.

I prefer Beth or Bethan to Bethany.
I personally don't like Greg/Gregory/Gregor though.

Puremince · 18/10/2016 14:40

Bethan and Gregor. Though I also think Bethan and Gregory works better.

Yoarchie · 18/10/2016 14:42

I would just go for Beth and Greg.

Sparrowlegs248 · 18/10/2016 14:43

Bethan and Gregor. But Bethan and Gregory really.
