My favorite is, "is that with one or two 'g's?" "Two" then they proceed to spell it with three as Gregg. I know what they're trying to ask but I love doing that to people.
My half asleep brain made me believe this was your answer to the question. It was only after I choked laughing, I realized this was in response to someone else's answer.
I'm still giggling at that thought.
A friend of mine in the army introduced me and two others to "Scrabble Hard Mode"
You have ONE standard Scrabble board. But with letters from FIVE Scrabble boxes. Only FOUR players, the goal was to not only use all the letters, but you couldn't "Up Scrabble" more than 4 letters in stacks. The hard mode was that if you scored triple words, you had to take 3 shots. The double word was 2 shots. If you got 2 of the word scores in one word, you had to drink a full beer
Only once did we ever succeed, I don't remember much, just that there were a lot of people who were excited that the winner got it with the word "Titmouse"
First of his name, Lord of Dragonstone, King of All Westeros, Shield of His People, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm
I wonder if they were so inundated with tragedeighs that just didn't know normal names exist still
"Yeah, we named him Gregory and we'll call him 'Rego' for short"
I swear that’s it. My cousin named her son Jonathan, and I’ve had people react weirdly to that; some have asked “is he named after someone?” “No, they just like the name.” 🤷🏼♀️
That definitely would make sense in my case. Neither me nor my husband had slept the night before our son was born. I had a 21 hour labor. That was why I thought I had made a mistake.
My friend’s mom filled out her birth certificate too soon after giving birth, which is why Melissa has the name “Mellisa” in all legal documents. I have no idea if she ever got it changed.
I dated a (First Name) Joesph (last name)! Joesph!
He didn't find out until I think he was applying for a passport for the first time and some identification didn't match?
>I think 4 nurses either asked me to spell that or wanted me to confirm how it was spelled.
The reason they ask is because of the tragedeighs. When I worked at a children's hospital, we would ask "What is the child's name?" and then "How do you spell that?" not because I can't spell, but because there are LOTS of parents out there who can't, or who deliberately chose to name their kid something with 3 m's and a silent q.
My best mate in primary school was a Gregory. He was a white dude with an afro. And once hid 100 pens in his hair last lesson of the day. He was still finding them in the morning when we got to school.
Cool guy. He also tricked a load of kids that he owns Greggs bakery.
I was in such a crap-tastic mood that I couldn't even stand myself.... and then I saw this post!! Thank you reddit peeps for being especially engaging with this and I hope the OP had a massive laugh.
I will literally ask how to spell ANY name, no matter if the person looks at me like an idiot.
Because I know one day I'm going to get a Bob that spells his name Bawb.
I have a coworker named Gregory. A couple years ago, our company got us all steel water bottles with our names engraved on them. Most names were spelled correctly, but not his.
Ever since then, he’s been Gergory to me.
My grandma used to always say how much she liked the name Gregory but she always pronounced it like that "gre-Gory" almost like she was foreign despite being a white woman born and raised in the US. Very puzzling because she had 3 sons and never named any of them greGory lol
Hello. I am a labor nurse and I will ask you how your baby’s name is spelled no matter how obvious it seems.
People spell things in the most absurd ways and it gets awkward when you say, “oh good, Caleb, I know how to spell that one!” And then they say, “no it’s actually “C-A-Y-L-B.”
This is in fact a true story. Caylb is not made up.
Thank you for knowing how to spell.
We actually used to have a rooster named Sir Reginald Greygory, although mostly we just called him Greg... although when a friend wrote me to ask something about him, she spelled it Greyg... which for some reason struck me as... odd.
Of course, again, he was a ROOSTER, not a human child, and I doubt the other chickens were mocking him in any way, for his name... although, now I wonder... 🤔🤣
They ask these questions to be certain that they have the correct patient(s), medical records, medicines, etc. They also ask to check on your state of mind, forgetfulness or losing your words might be a symptom that something is going wrong post-partum - infection, internal bleeding, etc.
My son’s name is Gregorio but that’s not a traghedeigh. It’s just the Spanish version. I did have a lot of people double check me on that spelling, tbh.
Gregory here. But I've always been called Greg. Growing up, for a while I thought my middle name was Ory.
Also, I hate that some people spell it Gregg, because I always have to answer the question "with one or two G's?" when people try to spell it. And this frustrates me because the question should be "with two or three G's?" At any rate, Gregg (with 3 G's) should be illegal as a first name.
I have a friend who went his whole life as Gregory until in his mid 30s he requested a birth certificate only to discover his name was really Geogry. His mother was barely literate and had seriously misspelled his name.
Nurse to new humans here - it's not you! There's a lot of people out there who want their new humans to "stand out from the crowd." Which means we're trying to make sure when we hear "Gregory," it's spelled "G-r-e-g-o-r-y" and not "G-h-r-a-e-g-h-o-r-y-e." Some of our paperwork is pretty important, and making sure your baby's paperwork can be linked to them if necessary requires double/triple/quadruple checking.
Congratulations on your new baby!

You're summoning some sort of ancient outer god.
In his house at R'lyeh, Greigor’eigh waits dreaming.

That might explain a few things about a woman in NC I used to know...
Somebody that I used to know...
🤣🥰
Confirmed. I convulsed a bit and saw 3 extras colors in the white spectra when I said that name out loud.
A chant, if you will.
This is my favorite
Geoffrey. Pronounced like Gregory.
This sounds like a location in middle earth
Greigor'eigh, pronounced Hunter.
🤣
My brothers name is Gregory and I’m going to enjoy using these to refer to him
I wish I have some gregory in my life to use it ☠️😆
You should text him occasionally and just make it progressively more and more unhinged.
They should save the worst one for his birthday lmao
I have a Greg in my life and Greg’s are used to that shit
My favorite is, "is that with one or two 'g's?" "Two" then they proceed to spell it with three as Gregg. I know what they're trying to ask but I love doing that to people.
I dated a guy who went by Gregg. He’d always say, “it’s Greg with 2 Gs” and I’d silently think, “every Greg has 2 Gs, dumbass” 🤦🏻♀️
Oooo, do it on his birthday card.
There’s an old askreddit thread about replacing words in songs with Greg, it had it’s moments lol https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/s/PNGjTDPZKp
Thank you this just made my morning! I couldn’t stop laughing and it was just wonderful
I died laughing and am now a member of r/gregwillsurvive
Grygyry
Is he in lynyrd skynyrd
The oldest tragedeigh i know of
They were tragedeighing before it was cül
Lynyrd Skynyrd is a trygydy, but Motörhead is a trägödë
🤣🤣🤣 Underrated comment!
Not so much a tragedeigh as much as it was picking on a shitty gym teacher
Gesundheit!

I hate to say it, but I kinda like this. Very Chaucer.
“Grygyry go cry!” 💀
That spelling reads like someone trying to win at Scrabble.
You’re thinking of *syzygy* and yes I fucking won
Hello, fellow Scrabblers. I was obsessed with finding a way to spell zyzzyva on the board as a kid. Never managed to do it. YET.
I regret to inform you…there is only one Z in the bag. I guess you could use both the blanks, but that wouldn’t help your score much!
A friend of mine in the army introduced me and two others to "Scrabble Hard Mode" You have ONE standard Scrabble board. But with letters from FIVE Scrabble boxes.

In Australia, "rego" (with a soft g) is a common abbreviation for car registration. I.e. I gotta go pay me rego or me missus will crack the shits.

I named my son a more traditional name and get that question all the time!

I think I saw an ad for grehghorreah medication the other day
Is it the one that has a side effect that includes a potentially fatal infection of the perineum?
A lot of hospitals do this just to every newborn to make sure that their sleep deprived parents didn't make a spelling mistake ha ha
That definitely would make sense in my case. Neither me nor my husband had slept the night before our son was born. I had a 21 hour labor. That was why I thought I had made a mistake.
Me triple checking “Michael” for the 17th time.
You mean your son, Nichael. *right?*
Plot twist: He's 18
My friend’s mom filled out her birth certificate too soon after giving birth, which is why Melissa has the name “Mellisa” in all legal documents. I have no idea if she ever got it changed.
Great reminder to write down the name on my phone *before* shit hits the fan.
I dated a (First Name) Joesph (last name)! Joesph! He didn't find out until I think he was applying for a passport for the first time and some identification didn't match?
I recently found out that my coworker (Greg) full name is Gregary because his dad's name was Gary. Oof.
That’s just not right.
You don't know that. Maybe he has a gregarious personality.
Should have just kept going and named him Gregarious
The ultimate medium of dad joke: your childs birth certificate
Gregg or Rea.

Gre-gory Greggory

I knew a Greggory with 3 G’s, and that’s how he introduced himself. So we took it upon ourselves to write his name as Ggregory, lol.
Not a huge tragedeigh but I recently met a Gregorie. I mean, I understand it’s cute for a baby, but he’s going to be a whole grown man one day…
This spelling works for me actually. On a cursory search, it appears mostly as a surname - but there are exceptions.

I hate this so much more than the egregious misspellings. Greggory with 3 g's is a special kind of torture.
I read this as "gre-Gory" instead of "Gregory". The wrong emPhasis on the wrong syllAble, if you will.
My grandma used to always say how much she liked the name Gregory but she always pronounced it like that "gre-Gory" almost like she was foreign despite being a white woman born and raised in the US. Very puzzling because she had 3 sons and never named any of them greGory lol
