The two harsh "g" sounds make this name ugly to me. It's a mix between funny in a way that can't be taken seriously, and grumpy old man name. I'm glad it's fallen out of fashion and I can't imagine it coming back any time soon. Very bad, unattractive name.
Gregory is a name that I’ve always liked. Gregory sounds very classy and mature, too. Rory is a cute nickname for it, but Greg is also nice. I love the Diary of a Wimpy Kid association, as well.
My name is Gregory. I quite like it. I personally see it as an "older" person name. I’m 15 so none of my peers have my name. When someone mentions "Greg" or "Gregory" at school, they instantly know who they’re talking about. I like having this nerdy handsome name. I get lots of recognition for it. It’s a strong, manly, handsome, and a bit nerdy, but I like that, it suits my personality. I wouldn’t be myself without my name. Gregory is my signature. This is also my opinion. There are many great names. I’m just glad I’m not named Quandale Dingle.
In 2018, 48 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Gregory who is registered male with the Social Security Administration. It is the 70th most common male first name for living U.S. citizens.
I really like this name and the nickname Greg is so manly and strong sounding but in the UK it's dropped off in popularity in recent years, probably because of the Greg's Bakery shop which is very popular here. They sell mainly cakes and savoury pastries and going to Greg's is a by word for "I'm going to pig out on cakes" or if someone is overweight they are said to have been living at Greg's, lol. I fear this may have tainted the name:(, which is sad. I hope people start using the name more again here in England. It's such a strong and interesting name.
I've always loved this name. It sounds so handsome and strong and intellectual and charming. It's timeless. I can imagine a Gregory from a Medieval fantasy and in a modern-day school. I would marry a Gregory.
I love the name Gregory! I imagine a friendly person with this name. This is a very cute and classy name! ^_^ I've always thought Gregory and Jeffrey would be really cute sibling names. :3.
In early 17th century England Gregory Brandon was the state's public executioner, and his son Richard took over the role. Richard was often known as "little Gregory" since he'd inherited the post from his father. Most of the "victims" of their judicial killings were common criminals who perished by hanging, but in the case of noblemen the Brandons had to wield the axe, as beheading was deemed the appropriate punishment for high class miscreants convicted of crimes meriting the death penalty. In 1640 Richard (aka "little Gregory") beheaded Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford, who had fallen foul of King Charles the First. In 1649 Charles himself was beheaded - it was rumoured by "little Gregory", who had earlier refused to kill a king, and was said to have been bribed to change his mind. Because of these two state public hangmen called Gregory, the gallows became known in popular parlance as "the Gregory tree" and it's believed that this macabre association hastened the decline in the number of infant boys christened Gregory in England.
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.
A famous bearer is American actor Gregory Jbara (born 28 September 1961). He's best known for his work in theatre, specifically for originating the role of Dad in "Billy Elliot, the Musical", for which he received a Tony Award nomination.
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.
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.
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!
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.
The name of the title character in the television show, House, M. D., is Dr. Gregory House, a brilliant and unconventional diagnostician. It's also the name of one of Draco Malfoy's flunkies in Harry Potter, Gregory Goyle.
Krikor Lusavorich (Gregory the Enlightner) was the saint who converted the Armenian people to Christianity in the late third century. Consequently, in the year 303 AD, the Armenian people became the first nation to adopt Christianity as official religion of their state, even before Christianity was officially adopted by Emperor Constantine of the Byzantine Roman Empire.
