Thank you for helping with this (and yes, in case you were wondering, this whole question was totally about me outsourcing the brainstorming about my conundrum about Gregory's name to you folks *g*)!
I guess it seems to me that if others were calling Gregory 'Greg' but SHE called him 'Gregory', that would draw attention to it rather than inviting a nickname for her own cover name. And then there's the fact that she would have initially met Gregory under a more temporary name anyway (like, she wouldn't have gotten involved in the SCLC under the name 'Elizabeth Jennings'). So the first option doesn't quite work for me, although I could still be talked into it.
The second one, though...maybe! I guess I have to figure out what that would have looked like to him, though, if she was introduced to him as Greg but she called him Gregory. And what the conversation they would have had about that would have been like.
