What's wrong with the name Gary?


Indistinguishable from the name "Harry" in the Russian language.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I have this friend who has a cat named "David" which has lead to a number of hilarious mixups with people thinking she's talking about her boyfriend. ("David woke me up today licking my feet").

What if the town is named after a human, like "Gary, Indiana?"
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

If I name a town Shitstink after my good friend George Shitstink it matters not, its still a town called Shitstink.

I just wanted to check something about Gary, Indiana, so I googled it.  First hit is the Wiki page.

Then comes the "People Also Ask".  The first question is "What's so bad about Gary Indiana". :lol: :(

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today

Northern edge of Indiana, about 60 miles east of Chicago.

It's a "go through" city on your way to anywhere else. :P
