Gary?

I'm interested to know - would any expectant parents on here be willing or planning on calling their child Gary?
It's a sturdy name, but apparently falling out of favour.
Save Gary!
Thanks

I’m married to a Gary, but I’m afraid I won’t be having a Gary junior lol.

Call him Garibaldi! Go on, I dare you! Gary for short, it's so out there it is actually quite cool.

This also works really well if he loses his hair in later life.

garyjive you sound so sweet and earnest, I’m growing quite fond of the name! If I were to have a boy, I’d now consider Gary. As a pp said, the sound is growing on me through repetition 😁 I’d definitely choose it over Barry if that’s any consolation.

Also, Gary Wilmot, another great Gal right there 👍

Met my partner Gary when he was 18, didn't ever seem like a weird name and I've never met another l!
