I just have such a hard time imagining that coming out of the culture he was raised in, he was always called 'Gregory' by everyone. That would be nearly as weird as a Russian never using short forms of their own names (which never, ever, ever happens). So that implies to me that it's Elizabeth who initiated the long form of the name with him. I just have to figure out why, and what that felt like, and what they talked about surrounding it.
katiac's reasoning on why she uses the long form of her own cover name is a great place to start, though (thanks, katiac!).
