Opinions please for DC3s name. DC1&2 have classic names - not too popular nor unheard of. Thank you!

Oh no, don't like it at all.

Ah spellcheck what are you up to - that should be Gregor or Gregory!

I have a one year old Gregory. I loved the name because I like classic names too and it isn't as popular as the others I liked, Alexander for example.

We don't have Greggs here so nobody makes that association but I don't get many people saying oh that's a really nice name haven't heard it in ages, everyone is a bit 'meh' about it.

We call him Greg and Greggy. I still love it and its meaning though.

Thank you all - afraid Gregor seems very Scottish and much as I would love to be I am not...
Adding another to the mix - quite different.. Jonah?!

Gregor seems German to me personally ;)

I personally prefer Gregory (to Gregor and Jonah) but think Gregor would work very well in the UK as well.

Jonah is fine. But I really prefer Gregor and Gregory to Jonah.

I much prefer Jonah to either Gregor or Gregory. As long as you're not a sea faring family! 🚣

Very nice

Love it- reminds me of Gregory's Girl (film).

I know a baby Gregor/ Greg. Very cute but also a proper grown-up name.

Go for Gregory - no no to Jonah!
