It's too much of a surname to be a first name. If it was used as a first name, it would sound too pretentious.

I agree.

I like Gregory though!

I like Gregor or Gregory, I'm not a big fan of Mac- names.

This :)

Gregor is actually kind of intriguing to me :)

I dislike first names with prefixes.

I immediately thought of Mr. MacGregor's garden, too :)

I like Gregory a lot better.

I like it - my daughter's middle name is McGregor. It is my grandmother's middle name and was her mother's maiden name though.

Puts me in mind of a dour old Scottish businessman... which would be hell for someone to have to grow into.

And do you like the nickname Mac? - because whether you want it or not, he'll probably be Mac before he leaves kindy.

I think it's wonderful! I don't like Gregory by itself, but this name is a great alternative in my opinion.

I like it, but it is definitely a surname so I probably wouldn't use it unless it was a family name.

Ooh, I hate it. (I hate Gregor, too.)
Way too much of a last name and, imo, not a very attractive sounding one at that.
