Terry Fox was a Canadian who, in 1980, embarked to travel (1 km a day) from the east coast of Canada to the west coast on foot to raise money for cancer research. He did all of this on a prosthetic leg from it being amputated due to cancer. He unfortunately never made it to the west coast, and had to stop in Ontario due to his cancer returning and spreading to his lungs.
Feel free to add him to the famous bearers list.

Glad to see that Terry Pratchett’s on the Namesakes list, but sadly the birth and death dates need to be updated from “1948-” to “1948-2015”. [noted -ed]

I prefer Theresa without the nickname Terry. I don't like this nickname much for Theresa. This is such a better nickname for Theodore. Like omg, ditch the immature Teddy, and add Terry or Theo instead please.

I think it seems feminine enough, after all Lindsay and the like are male names. Other spellings are Terrie, Terri, Tery, Terie, Teri, and Tarry.

I think the name Terry for a girl is a horrible name. It's so masculine... why would anyone do that to a little girl?

I think of Terry as a boy name, probably because I know 6 boys named Terry, but there is also a Canadian athlete/hero named Terry Fox.

I am a woman named Terry. My father gave me the name, and for Pete's sake, all the busy bodies telling me it wasn't a girl's name should've gone and jumped into many lakes! I rather like the name now, especially for Marlon Brando playing Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront--one of my favorites! It seems to me that Terry has an Irish flavor to it.

I know both male and females with the name Terry. Although the male's are short for Terrence. I do like it better as a masculine name. Terri is a nice spelling for the girls. And I believe it's short for Teresa.

I find this really masculine no matter how it's spelled. On a girl, would be much better as a nickname for Theresa than as a given name.

Honestly, this name would be much better on a girl if it was spelled with an I at the end, because Terry just looks too masculine for a girl. Plus this name was originally for boys. My uncle's name is Terry.

Terry Lee was the lead character in the newspaper comic strip titled Terry and the Pirates. The strip was created by Milton Caniff during the 1930s. The strip began with crude stereotypes, but eventually became more polished. Author Caniff eventually won awards for the strip and some critics believe that Canif eventually produced some of the most memorable strips in the history of the medium. When Caniff had creative differences with the Syndicate which owned the strip, Canif left the syndicate and created the Steve Canyon strip. Although the syndicate continued to hire replacements for Canif, the strip was never as popular as it had been during Canif's tenure. However, in spite of diminishing popularity, the strip continued for another 27 years following Canif's departure.

There's nothing wrong with Terry for either a boy or a girl, but it just seems to me that it shouldn't be a name in its own right. It should always be a nickname for either Terrence or Theresa.
