About
the name Gregory, from www.kabalarians.com:
Your
name of Gregory makes you quick-minded, versatile, and very
expressive. You are adaptable and creative in responding
to new situations. This name has given you an interest in
people and a desire for new experiences. You have the ability
to create a favourable first impression, and so you could
do well in the fields of sales promotion or entertainment.
The use of this name creates a lack of stability in your
affairs as it inclines you to procrastinate. It spoils patience
and weakens your stand in matters of principle. You are
inclined to do whatever is expedient in order to avoid facing
issues. You could suffer bitter experiences through attracting
wrong types of association and can be drawn into circumstances
involving you in unwise situations. Weakness in your health
would come through emotional disturbances and tension affecting
the nervous system. Nervous indigestion and disorders in
the fluid functions could result
