Terry?

Namechange because it’s possibly quite outing.

Is Terry due a revival as a boys name? It’s my son’s name and we haven’t met another under the age of about 50! He was named after his grandad, at the time I hated it but it’s grown on me, so under the guise of a name change I wondered what honest opinions are of the name.

No. It reminds me of a twat who gave me a black eye.

I think it's a granddad's name

I like Terry more than Terence - and Terry does feel (to me anyway) more like a whole name than all the Alfies and Albies and Archies of recent years.

Love it as a man's name. Great name!

I like it. As long as your surname isn’t Bull…
