Name of the main character of Chrono Cross, my namesake together with Sergio Livingstone, famous Chilean goalkeeper then journalist and TV personality who bears the Spanish (and Italian) version. My name is this version, but my Spanish-speaking family uses Sergio for ease and comfort. One of those names that no matter where you travel, there's likely a local language version, and the locals are going to use that.
This is my little brother's name! We used it before The Boys, back in 2010. We pronounce it like the word surge, and you might not think that's the prettiest pronunciation, but it's different and it suits him. There's not much nickname potential, but I occasionally call him Sergey. I wish I had a unique name like him, because mine has risen dramatically in popularity.

Serge Jonas Ibaka Ngobila (born 18 September 1989) is a Congolese-Spanish professional basketball player for the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Ibaka is a three-time NBA All-Defensive First Team selection and has twice led the league in blocks. In June 2019, he helped the Raptors defeat the Golden State Warriors in six games during the NBA Finals to win his first NBA championship.Off the court, Ibaka is also the host of the YouTube cooking series "How Hungry Are You?" In each episode, the self-styled "Mafuzzy Chef" usually invites one of his teammates or another basketball player to a meal, interviews them, and then unveils the episode's special ingredient such as lamb brains or beef testicles.
A famous bearer of the name Serge is Serge Gainsbourgh, a singer famous for his collaborations with Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin, as well as the risque subject matter of his songs. He is the father of Charlotte Gainsbourgh.It bothers me that Americans often pronounce it like sir-gay, like the Russian Sergei. I've even heard this on the radio.
