Gregory is an awesome name for a boy. It sounds handsome, manly, smart and athletic.

When I was little, I detested this name, but I think that's because I thought my little brother, Gregory, was going to be a little sister named Catherine. The great disappointment. As I grew up, I appreciated the name more and how it suited him.

My second son is a Gregory. But he was a tiny baby and so, rather than call him "Greg" as a shortend form, we decided to use the ending sounds of the name and now call him "Rory". It truly suits him!

I love it. The nickname Greg is great.

It's my dad's name. I like it well enough. I'd probably give my son the middle name of "Gregory," but definitely not the first.

For some reason, this name reminds me of someone who would be lazy and irresponsible.

Famous bearer: Gregory Maguire, author of the novel Wicked.

There is also a character in Julia Quinn's book On the Way to the Wedding, and all the other Bridgerton books come to think of it, called Gregory. I love the name as a whole but I don't like Greg, it's just too strange.

I really don't like this name. It reminds me of preps and/or people who fix cars for a living for some reason. No offense intended, just how I feel.

I've never liked this name. It sounds very old-fashioned and elitist, like the name rich and emotionally cold parents would choose for the son they'll be sending off to a boarding school. I don't like the rather harsh-sounding nickname Greg either. Besides, the religious associations put me off.

I think this is an amazing name; although I used to really hate it when I was younger, it's really starting to grow on me. :-)

I think Gregory is an ok name. It feels very old though - can't imagine it on a young person. I also really dislike Greg which is probably an inevitable nickname.

I like this name! It's very sweet sounding :) and unfortunately it's really uncommon these days, even though it was so popular at one time!
