Comments for the name Garrett

Meaning - to watch; man with spear; a watchtower.

I have a friend who bears the surname Garrett. I have searched for the meaning through many different sources and only once have I been told that it means "to watch". All my other sources have refered to it as "Brave Spear" or "Bold Spear".

Garrett Macy is the coroner on the T.V. show "Crossing Jordan."

I am sorry, but I think this is a very ugly name!

This is my son's name. Its origin in the family is Dutch. One of the original settlers of New Amsterdam is our ancestor. His name was Gerrit.

Garrett is an okay name.

I love this name. I know a lot of people with this name. I just adore it. It sounds so cute.

This is the surname of ex-Midnight Oil member, Australian politician Peter Garrett.

The name Garrett is an awesome name and even though I'm only 14 now I'll probably name one of my kids Garrett! That is if I have a boy.

Actor Garrett Hedlund. Played in movies such as Troy, Four Brothers, Eragon and a little in Georgia Rules. That's all I know so far. I'm surprised no one has mentioned him yet.

There is a boy in my class named Garrett and we pronounce it like it's spelled.

I really like the name Garrett. It's not one you hear a lot, so when you do hear it, you don't say, "Oh, another Garrett." Or maybe it's just me.

I prefer this name to Gareth, as this doesn't have the ''th'' ending. Just don't call the guy Gary. I can't stand Gary, but Garrett is okay.

Garrett is the name of one of the Nomadic Vamipires in Stephenie Meyer's book Breaking Dawn.

My name is Garrett. Thank you, by the way, Autumn. That was a very nice comment. I am very satisfied with what my name means. I love my name. I even know somebody whose middle name is Garrett, and he goes by his middle name because he likes Garrett more than his first name. I think Garrett is a little more popular than we think, though. I have known five other kids named Garrett, just at my school. Any way, I love my name and I am actually glad that it isn't very popular. I like being unique, and even just four other Garretts kind of makes my name feel a little less special. (Of course, I am the only "good" Garrett, if you catch my drift).

I'm sure the above-posting Garretts are nice, but the one I knew was an unmitigated rear end. That I don't completely hate the name because of him says something, I suppose. It's better than Gary.

This is my boyfriend's name. I find it quite handsome but very hard to picture on a grown man.

This is also the name of American male model Garrett Neff. Best known for his Calvin Klein campaigns.

I have a friend named Garrett and we pronounce it 'Gare-it'. I like his name because it really suits him because it sounds (to me) smart and friendly, which he is. But he hates when people misspell his name or call him Gary or Gare-Bear. I only know two Garrett's around my age and they're both nice and they both, incidentally, play stringed instruments (viola and bass) and they're both in the youth symphony.

Another famous bearer would be Lesley Garrett, the famous singer. I think the name is lovely, though for me it's more surname than given name. I've never heard it pronounced with a Gar or Ger, only ever heard of it pronounced Gare-et/Gare-it though, but that be a more British pronunciation.

It's another surname turned first/middle name. I think it's a nice alternative to the typical male names. I love it.

Garrett Hedlund is an American actor.

Garrett headlund's adorable, this is a really cool but sadly uncommon name, I like it a lot!

It's a nice name, but its so uncommon that people will say it wrong half the time.
