What caused the sudden raise of the boy name Nery in the USA in 2007?
Editing the information on the name Nery I found to my surprise a sudden rise in the use of this name in the year 2007 from 29 boys to 222 boys, hitting the TOP-1000 in the USA. What event or what personality was responsible for that?--elbowin

I think one factor may have been the Mexican soccer player Nery Castillo, who seems to have gained worldwide fame among soccer fans at about that time.https://www.mlssoccer.com/players/nery-castillo

Well I can't sat for sure, but it you exclude the boxer Luis Nery from search results (who wasn't a thing in 2007) there's Guillaume Néry, a french free diver who set several world records before 2007 knocked around https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillaume_N%C3%A9ry
