Possible Nickname?

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

I have liked Gregory on and off for years, but I have recently fallen in love with it. I figured it would have to get a middle name slot if it was ever used because I really don't like the nickname Greg. Well, today, I saw a poll on BtN that was all about unusual nicknames, and one of them was Rory for Gregory.

WDYT? Could Rory work for Gregory? I'm really kind of liking it, myself!

Um, I actually really like that. I really don't like Gregory but I love the nickname Rory for Gregory so much my vote is totally yes!

I like it a lot :) I love when unusual nicknames are attached to names- for example, I used to work with someone who went by Mandy, for months I assumed her name was Amanda, turned out it was actually Madeleine.

I think it works and is cute! I think people may automatically go to Greg though since it is so instant of an association. You might have to remind people often that it's Rory not Greg!

I definitely think Rory works as a nickname. I don't think you'd have much of a problem with people calling him Greg since you/he would likely introduce/refer to him(self) as Rory or Gregory.
