I don't think this would work in the USA as very few here would ever think Harray rhymed with Garry when first looking at them. Most Americans would assume that Harray would be pronounced with the second syllable like "Ray".

Don't like them, looks too overdone to me. But I prefer Garry. I prefer Harry to Harray.

I’m not a fan of either name. But, Garry is a nice short form of Garrett or Gareth.

I've always found Garry spectacularly unattractive. Harry isn't as terrible - Harray is.

I think they'd have been wiser to have used these spellings for mns. Even in Scotland! I've seen Garry as a normal spelling variant of Gary, not as a geographical reference, and I really don't like it. I much prefer Gareth to Gary and Garry, but of course it's the wrong piece of Celtic Fringe. Harray is ghastly; sounds like a pretentious middle-class twit in an unsuccessful radio comedy.

Do the names actually rhyme?

I actually prefer Garry over Gary. But Harray just looks misspelled!

Don't like those spellings or the name hurray

Harry is nice, Gary is ok

Garry is not my thing but alright. I reckon he gets Gary a lot.

---

Harray looks like parents trying to force people to say Harry with an exaggerated British accent. Or Hurray mixed with Harry.

So to me the two of them would be not-quite-Gary and not-quite-Harry.
