Garry?

[Swedington]

What do you all think?

no bit old hat , Gareth maybe

no

Glitter NO

Too seventies. Also - Gary Glitter. Spelling it with two Rs doesn't change things.

He would definitely not have anyone else in the class with that name. Certainly 'unusual' in these times.

Is this a MN question that only got around to be typed now and actually you are located back in the 70's?

But I want him to work in advertising.

RainRain -

No no no no no no no

It was a horrible name even back in the seventies, and should be left there imo.

I thought it only had one R anyway?

Well, as I used to work in advertising, I think it's a perfect name.

Would he make stupid 'adverts' about women in particular?

Maybe he could work on Tena Lady or Tampax, as he is bound to grow up with much empathy?

I think it would be refreshing to meet a little baby Garry, instead of yet another Josh, Oscar, Alfie, Archie, Finn or whatever other names are 'in' at the moment. (Not that I don't like those names, before anyone gets offended.)

Anyway, My BIL is a Garry with two 'r's so I'm biased.

It has a certain ring to it, Lenin. I was going to be called Worthit, but thankfully my mother saw sense. What a dreadful, chavvy name that would have been.

Makes me think of the Only Fools and Horses episode with the 'illegal' immigrant.
Gar-ry.

Oh look. More of us are going to have to sit on the naughty step now. That's 50 minutes for me. Bugger.

I can't remember, but I don't think it was offensive. The best thing to do is to keep this window open and open MN again in another tab!

Oops, sorry MNHQ. I didn't even realise this was about HWMNBN until after I posted.

LG - It was a comment perhaps more suited to the traditional Friday night thread IYGWIM.
