Comments for the name Cary

Famous bearer: Cary Grant!

Famous bearer: Actor Cary Elwes, of "The Princess Bride".

Cary Brothers is a musician. His song "Blue Eyes" is really good.

I like this name, it sounds a lot like "caring". Though I think it sounds more like a girl's name, this spelling looks more masculine.

Jennifer Grant (daughter of actor Cary Grant) had a son in August 2008. Cary Benjamin Grant. I think it's cool.

I know an elderly man with this name. He warned me not to name my son this because he was called "Cary the fairy" in school because the name sounds very feminine, and it would be a cruel thing to do to a child. Now, instead the name reminds me of a loud, rude, egotistical old man who drinks too much. I would never use it for a boy or a girl. No offense to any other Carys!

I have a (guy) friend named Cary, and I used to laugh every time I said his name. (It just sounded so girly!) And it was even funnier because Cary is this really big guy and his name is CARY! haha. Though now I've grown used to it, and I love it now! I now see it as a guy name instead of a girls.

It's too bad this name has fallen out of usage for males.
