Opinions on Guy and Gregory?

[ByThePowerOfRa]

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.

I really like Gregory but can't past Guy Fawkes / "Mr Nice Guy" for Guy, sorry!

I like them both. Unusual but not outlandish. I’ve only known two Gregory/Greg’s in my life, both now late twenties. Guy has always been a fave of mine by DP isn’t keen.

I love Gregory - was on my list but XH didn’t like it.

Dislike both, guy to me is just like hey guy! Just a rude way to address someone’s name you don’t know, Greg is OK YT Gregory I’m not a fan

Gregory is classy. Love it!

I love Guy. I know 2 young adult Guy's who are lovely.

Not so keen on Gregory as I don't like Greg, I do like Gregor more though.

Guy is a great name.

Not as keen on Gregory. Prefer Gregor.

Gregor is nice.

Guy makes me think of the soppy Guy of Gisbourne from Maid Marian and her Merry Men

I prefer Gregor to Gregory but he’ll get called Greg whichever you choose.

Guy and Greg I think are equally good.

My grown up son is Guy so I love the name.

Hate Guy.

Like Gregory but prefer Gregor or Greg.

Guy is indeed a lovely old charmer of a name in my opinion, Gregory's nice too but for me Guy tops it.

Love Guy. Gregory - I would like to like it but I just can't see a Greg being nice, unless it was a pastie.

Guy seems a bit “wet” to me.
Gregory is miles better and can be shortened to Greg.

Gregory I'd put in the same category as Gary and Malcolm. Greg is a balding middle aged man. Very ordinary.

Both great names.
