Garri for a girl?

[Sosige]

My late dad was called Gary. I'd love to honour him by naming our DD Garri, or do you think it's better spelt Gari? Middle name will be Anne.
Thanks in advance

You’ve been reading the Jimberley thread haven’t you

😂😆

Nice try 😂

Very similar to that song by The Hollies. Carrie-Ann.

Gaura is a type of flower which is better than giving her a male name. Let her be her own person and cherish the memories of your Dad.

Maybe there are some other names in your dad's side of the family you could use, instead of inflicting a male name on a baby girl - for life or at least until she changes her name by deed pole...

Middle name Baldi??

It's clearly a boy's name. It's not really fair on your DD to make her have a boys name. There is a song called 'A boy named Sue'. I'd save the name Gary until you might have a boy or at least try to make it sound feminine EG. Gariella.

Beyond awful.

I don't fancy it for a girl.

Maybe double-barrel it with Anne so it’s more obviously feminine

Other suggestions-

Garri-Mae
Garri-Rose

😂

Gazza will be a sweet nickname, esp when she's crying.

Nooooooo.

Sorry that your dad died
Do you have your dad's surname? If so you could pass it on to your daughter as well. That would be the best way to honour him.
Otherwise, what was his middle name? What about his initials? Maybe there's a way to use a female version of his middle name or use the initials or parts of his name for a feminine name.
You obviously can't call her "Garri" or any other spelling variation.

I like the name, so if you like it, go with it. In 20 years will be a different response.

There's a huge reason no one is using this name anymore. What about Myra or Rose?

Gary is also rhyming slang...

I don't fancy it for a boy.

If you must do it use it as a middle name where nobody ever needs to know .

At a time when nobody is calling their sons Gary anymore, you want to give it to a girl?!

Or fishing

How about Geri? Or even Gray/Grace? Definitely not Garri.

Noooooooooooo

😂

Is this a wind up?

If Terri and Toni are acceptable, then why isn't Garri? I also know or a girl called Harri.

I think it's super cute for a girl. I like the Garri-Anne suggestion. Thanks!
