I like katiac's reasoning too, especially as I now realize that Philip actually does use nicknames, and from what I can see, never actually introduces himself as anything other than Phil.
In the case of Gregory, I'd say it might be Gregory's side of things. Nicknames are very personal, and if he never introduced himself as 'Greg' than Elizabeth won't be the one to take that step.
