I love it but is is ds1's name.
And he shares a surname with the Brady bunch but that didn't stop me

Gregory's Girl for me too, and sandwhiches.

I think of my very glamorous very camp friend - but I always think how the name doesn't really suit him.

SarahL2 · 19/06/2009 08:45

My brother (Gregory) or my cousin (Gregg) - my Auntie wasn't very imaginative

Gregor Fisher

A very cheeky king charles spaniel.

Pseudo-wannabee posh if he's a Brit- you know, not quite a Giles but just as drippy.

If he's an American then all teeth and Boris Becker white eyelashes.

My 33 year old nephew (who is a tall good looking Scot...)

FanjolinaJolie · 19/06/2009 16:51

Love, love the name Greg.

Have 2 dd's no never got the chance to use it.

Love Gregor, shortened to Greg. Sounds v manly.

Not so keen on Gregory, though. Sounds bit gay.

We have a Gregory and a Gregorios in the family, so that's what I think of first. Sandwich shop has an 's' on the end.

serenity · 19/06/2009 17:05

Oooooo yes, and House. He's a Gregory too. I love House.

JodieO · 19/06/2009 17:05

Sausage rolls.

melmog · 19/06/2009 17:10

Lovely name, but I think of a steak slice first, then the way it was pronounced in Gregory's girl way back when. Can't type in a Scottish accent.

princessmel · 19/06/2009 17:12

lol

I think of a tall teenager with red hair. Sort of rugby player looking.

leakyR · 19/06/2009 18:48

Greg Chapell - Australian cricketer

Def not sausage rolls

Cicatrice · 19/06/2009 22:14

I think of an Australian. All the Gregs I have ever met have been Australian. (Generally of Scots descent though)

FAQinglovely · 19/06/2009 22:17

I think Rudedski (sp)

Servalan · 19/06/2009 23:06

Gregory's Girl for me

And a chap I had a crush on when I was about 17.

Love the name Gregory. It's in my top 10

simplesusan · 21/06/2009 20:35

It is a good name , does make me think of the bakery though.

wrinklytum · 21/06/2009 20:43

It makes me think of a housemate I had at University,he was a bit of a stoner (well a lot actually) and would play Pink Floyd very loudly at 3 am when we were all trying to sleep.AFAIK he never attended any lectures but still managed to scrape a degree somehow...anyhow,I digress.I do quite like the name but any mention conjures up the image of a stoned hippy mathematician with a broad scouse accent

jojo001 · 21/06/2009 22:27

Think 1980s - big hair - 'Gregory's Girl' film

troutpout · 21/06/2009 22:39

I think he dances on your tongue like a meaty ballerina

Gunnerbean · 21/06/2009 22:58

I think of one of those horrible 1970s polystyrene ceiling tiles.
