Help baby become a hero like the ones in his books with this vintage-sounding name. Gary, which has Old English, Old Norse, and Germanic origins, means "spear," and can encourage to embrace his sharp wit. Gary can also be spelled Garry and is sometimes used as a nickname for Gareth, Garfield, and Gerald. This name's use has fallen drastically from its heights in the 1950s, so baby probably won't meet too many other Garys on his travels.
