Gregory Peck was the epitome of a tall, dark and handsome man. I grew up watching old movies and he single-handedly (sp?) made me fall in love with the name.
I love the sound of
Gregory as well. The repeated "g's" and "r's" are very rugged to my ears. If I had my way only people with thick Scottish brogues could say the name out loud. :-) I had a crush on a guy in school once simply because his name was
Malcolm McGregor. Well, he was cute so that helped . . . . How about
Gregory Malcolm?
You might also like the variants
Gregor and
Greer.
I've often thought that
Rory would make a cute nn for
Gregory. The two names have nothing etymologically in common. It just seems "do-able" to me.
P.S. I love
Hugh Laurie too.
My niece liked him on "House" so I introduced her to
Hugh Laurie the comedian in the Jeeves and Wooster series from the BBC. You might enjoy those too. :-)
