[Opinions] Re: Gregory, NN Greg
in reply to a message by Pickles
I think it's terrible tbh. Especially Greg. It feels like one of those names for a cartoon caveman, like Grug or Grog.
And it's one of those names that makes me think "You carried a baby for 9 months, worked hard to bring a new life into the world, committed yourself to nurture this new creature for years or even decades of your life, and when you had the chance to give this precious and irreplaceable being a name the best you could come up with was... 'Greg'?"
ETA: it also reminds me of Leigh Bardugo calling her magic users 'Greg' in the form of Grisha.
