Gregory or Geoffrey?
Which do you prefere?

Gregor; though Geoffrey shortens so delightfully to Geoff that I'm sorely tempted. Not Gregory: like Jeremy, Timothy and Anthony, it's like falling off a bicycle - the shock, the wobble and the thud.
Gregory.
Gregory -
Geoffrey
...especially with that spelling. Gregory is bland in comparison.

Geoffrey by many miles - reminds me of Chaucer and I'd love to see it used more often,
Gregory reminds me of stodgy pudding and custard - not sure why! Anyway, I think it's unattractive and clunky, whereas Geoffrey is attractive and suave.

Gregory, but...
I like Gregory as a full name much better, but I prefer Geoff over Greg.

Geoffrey
There is nothing terribly wrong with Gregory, other than the fact that it's boring and kind of clunky. Gregor is somehow much more alive.
Geoffrey is lively and lovely and soft and hard at the same time. And if you really have to have a nickname, then Geoff is really adorable.
I really dislike Jeffrey (and Jeff, ick), though.

Gregory! I love it

But Geoffrey is spelled Jeffrey then that wins over Gregory.

I prefer Geoffrey. It's a strong, handsome name that isn't overused these days.
Gregory has always reminded me of a goat bleating. While I like goats, I don't care for the sound of the name Gregory, and I don't care for Greg either. The good thing about this name is that it isn't overly popular at this point in time.

I think it's a lot stronger then Geoffrey. I like both Greg and Rory as nicknames. Plus, it's my brother's and grandfather's name, which trumps the cousin and uncle I have called Geoffrey.

Geoffrey.
It has a very Middle Ages feel to it.

Geoffrey... It's a flying Chaucer and one of the Bodine Brothers of racing!
Gregory way more. I hardly like Jeffrey but I can't stand Geoffrey.
Geoffrey, but mainly because I like the connection to Geoffrey Chaucer. I dislike the name Jeffrey immensely.
Gregory! My cousin has a little boy with this name!
I really like Gregory better than Geoffrey.
Totally Gregory. I don't like Geoffrey AT ALL. I'd love a little Gregory, I'd call him Rory.
Gregory
I think it's really handsome and understated. Geoffrey is alright, but there are so many Jeffreys along with it that it doesn't seem as in need of loving.

I like Gregory better. I've never really cared for Geoffrey. But I'm also kind of biased because I grew up with a good friend named Greg.
I am going to say Geoffrey. I prefer Gregor to Gregory.
