[Opinions] Love it (m)
in reply to a message by lilah
I grew up watching old Hollywood movies, so obviously I'm influenced strongly by Cary Grant. But I've always really loved it for a boy.
There's an English actor today, Cary Elwes, so Mr. Grant isn't the only namesake. I know a Cary who is about 50 years old; it's short for Clarence in his case. But I've thought about using Cary as a nn for Charles too.
If parents of little girls are using names like Kyle, Evan and Sean for their dds, I don't see why a genuinely masculine name like Cary couldn't work well on the playground for a boy.
Have you thought about mns?
