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.
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.

Gregory is my name and I am quite content with it. I often get called "Greg" or even mistakenly "Craig", but it's not that bothersome.
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'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.
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.
