I find it interesting to look at which names from a certain time get a comeback and which don't. As you said, 20s names are in right now, but not all 20s names are. I'm German, so I only know about naming trends in Germany. When I look at what names were popular in the 20s, names that have come back from rarely being given to kids for decades are Carla, Ella, Luise, Marie, Emma, Lilly, Karl, Paul, Max, Emil or Henry, while names like Ursula, Hildegard, Gertrud, Waltraud, Hermann, Günther or Gerhard haven't. Those names still have a very old-fashioned sound to them, while you wouldn't be suprised to meet a young Paul or Emma. It makes me wonder what exactly it takes for a name to come back. Maybe it's that Ella is simply more international than Waltraud and easier to pronounce for non-Germans, thus being better suited for our more globalized society? Maybe we prefer girls' names to end in a vowel, so we find Lilly and Marie just prettier than Hildegard and Gertrud? I'd love to know how exactly those naming trends work.
I'd guess it's because the names have negative connotations. The name Hermann for example sounds like Mr. Man for example. Ursula sounds like a modern slang word in german for a female body part. The name Günther is associated with stubby, not particularly athletic old people. I don't have any guesses for the other names, apart from the fact that they aren't particularly nice (in my opinion) to pronounce.
I was named after Gary Cooper (in 1956). My mom gave me that name because there was a lot pressure that I would be Lawrence IV. (Gary sounds like Larry). I love my mom for this. If I had "the forth" as part of my name I would be such an arrogant sh!thole.
Not just in the Anglo-Saxon language sphere the Garys go extinct, also in German they fade away 😐 But come on! My first, and middle name Gerhard Helmut translate into „strong spear, brave in battle“. I think that’s epic, and totally metal! 🤘
How can you talk about the name Gary without discussing Fallout’s Vault 108. You can’t get more Gary than a vault full of nothing but Gary clones! And, of course, Garry Newman of Garry’s Mod!
You forgot about one Gary, though he's not among us anymore. That's Gary Coleman, actor, comedian and writer, starting his career as a child actor in the sitcom Diff´rent Strokes where he played Arnold Jackson. He famously sued his own parents for taking his money he earned from his childhood acting, and voiced in the video games The Curse of Monkey Island as Kenny Falmouth and himself in Postal 2. He was parodied in Broadway Musical Avenue Q (played by a female actor in USA while in Europe he was played by a guy) and Coleman consindered to sue the team for this parody but decided against it later. He sadly passed away from subdural hematoma, only aged 42, in 2010.
Also Garry Trudeau, who draws a comic strip about politics and American life. And going way back to the fifties, Garry Moore was a TV game show host. He hosted a show called “I’ve Got a Secret,” in which a not so well known person would tell Garry and the audience about something unusual he or she had done, and a panel of celebrities tried to guess the person’s secret with yes or no questions. Each panelist could ask questions until the answer was “no,” then the turn passed to the next panelist. When a panelist guessed the secret, or the limit of “no” answers was reached (I think it was 20), the guest won a money prize proportional to that number. Two secrets of which I was reminded after all those years by a UA-cam video are (1) the inventor of television, Philo Farnsworth, and (2) the last surviving witness to Lincoln’s assassination.
Yay for my name appearing!! All these years as a Patreon finally paying off 😂I think there was only 7 names on there when I first signed up! As for famous Gary's you forgot the 80's pop star that I also share a surname with!!
When you referenced actor Gary Oldman and summarized some of the memorable roles of his career, you forgot to mention that he played Sid Vicious in the Sid & Nancy biopic.
I highly recommend comedian Gary Delaney. I love this guy! And since you mentioned the Norse name Geiri, I can't help but talk again about its Icelandic counterpart, for those interested. As far as I know, no-one bears Geiri as their given name, but instead it is a common nickname for someone called Geir (same meaning). It is a well know stand-alone name, but I believe it's even more common in a compound. Such names can be Þorgeir (Thor's Spear/weapon) Ásgeir (Spear/weapon of the Æsir) or Sigurgeir (Victory Spear/weapon). Other names include Hergeir, Margeir, Valgeir, etc. There are tons of then! Again, all of these can be called Geiri as well (but I might add that it's also common to make a nickname out of the first part of the name as well, so Valgeir can be either Valli or Geiri, as an example). It can also be used as the first part of a compound name, but it's much less common. Examples of such names are Geirfinnur, Geirmundur and Geirþrúður (female), but there are a few more, buth male and female. And regarding Gary the Snail, he's called Garðar in Icelandic, which means guardian/protector and is obviously related to the word 'guard'. Garðar is also the plural of 'garður' (garden/yard, ie Asgard = Ásgarður) but the name unrelated to that meaning. I mention that last bit because it's a common misconception among Icelandic speakers that the name simply means 'gardens', since the other meaning is archaic.
I have an Uncle Gary. He was born in in the 1930's. There was also the American actor Gary Coleman as well as these Garys: Gary Cole, actor Gary Collins, actor Gary Clark, Jr., musician Gary Payton, basketball player Gary Harris, basketball player Gary Locke, former governor of my state Gary Busey, actor Gary Larson, cartoonist "The Far Side"
I have an uncle named Gary (born in the 50's), and I know of a few Gary's from the same generation, but I can't think of anyone I know under 40 with that name. I'd actually never thought about how strongly generational the name Gary is until now.
I helped out at a special needs school a few years ago and there was a kid who must have been about 4 or 5 called Gary, he was a very sweet kid but there was just something funny about a kid being called Gary
Living in Wales, I'd always assumed that Gary was short for, or based on, Gareth. Seems I was probably wrong but, as the name Gareth wasn't mentioned in this video, I'll have to see what other info is available regarding this possible link.
I know a Gary who's in his 20s, so maybe Gary is more popular in Ireland (I don't even know any middle-aged Garys). And you forgot Gary Barlow from Take That, he's the first famous Gary I thought of
I had a friend in highschool named Gary but it was short for Garrison. And OMG you read my comment out! Yay. Pronounced my name wrong, but that's okay. It's just a screen name. I pronounce it in a way that rhymes with Ichabod Crane.
@@HopeRock425 I live in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (specifically Scotland) and everyone called it "hungry" not "hun-gary".
My grandmother's name is Guerry. I know nothing solid of the etymology of that spelling and usage as a girl's name, and have always assumed it was Irish, as she's (I believe) 3rd generation Irish immigrant to the US. Would be cool to see if you could find anything on that!
I'm a (lates 30s) Gary - quite like my name and hope it doesnt go extinct! Although growing up a lot of people got mixed up and called me Gray for some reason 🤔🤔. Hence I know make reference to '50 shades of Gary' 😶😶😶
And there's GARRY KASPAROV (aka my role model, we both play chess), and I'm GARY III. When I grow up, my son will be Gary I and my daughter Larissa Jr.
I know a ton of Garys lol. My father, brother and brother-in-law are all named Gary! Incidentally my brother and brother in law were born in the 60s... #savethegarys lol
My name is Gary and I am content with the name. I never knew till I was an a adult that there are many other variations of Gary, including /Gerald, Girard and versions in other languages such as Geraldo, Gellert, Giraud and Gerhart. The Czech version is Jaromir
I was told Gary the city was/still is(?) pronounced to rhyme with the name Mary. And it was Gary Cooper who popularised the Gary we know so it sounded less like Mary. Also in the UK , Mr Glitter did not help Gary's fortunes!
There was a time that for multiple years in the last 10 years, Gary has been in the single-digits for new births. Literally less than 100 over the last decade - it's *that* rare! I found famous Garys Oldman and Numan (New man) amusing.
As a Geri (with my name not actually coming from the Germanic origin of Speer, but the Hungarian name Gergely, pronounced "ger-gey" which is of Greek origin meaning "alertly guarding") I always introduce myself as "you know like the snail from Spongebob"!
The New York Yankees baseball club have a young star player by the name of Gary Sanchez, he was born in the Dominican Republic, but I don't know if that means anything.
Yep for sure. I remember a Dazza (Darren) and Wazza (Warren) at my suburban Australian primary school. There is also the Melbourne of Narre Warren that is sometimes called Nazzer Wazzer (or Nazza Wazza, I have no idea what the spelling convention is for this).
I don't know any Gary's, but I do know a couple Garrett's, and I have heard them jokingly referred to as Gary. Although, I wouldn't say Gary is a common shortening of Garrett.
i know a lot of people who are called gerald though. which comes from the same orgin. with ger coming from spear and rald coming from rule. so rule of the spear.

@@HopeRock425 I always forget he was still active in the 80's, I associate him more with the 70's. In this case I mean a very 80's new wave musician.
There's also Gary Woodland the golfer. I think he's the only playing Gary.
if you could do a full video on the extinction of names that would be interesting :)
My dad is named Gary (in his 50s), my brother is Harry and my Granddad Barry.
When you referenced actor Gary Oldman and summarized some of the memorable roles of his career, you forgot to mention that he played Sid Vicious in the Sid & Nancy biopic.
He's played so many fantastic roles, it would be impossible to list even just all the important ones in such a short video.
Gar means spear, and garlic originally meant "spear-leek" as it was a spear-shaped relative of leeks.
