Baby name help!?

My father in law's name is Gary. We want to name our baby boy after his dad but don't want to use Gary. My husband wants GARRISON but I DO NOT like it. We're really into uncommon/unique names but I just don't like that one. Anyone have any other ideas? His dad's middle name is not an option. lol....thanks!

Baby name help!?
How about Greyson or Graham? Or Grayson which could be a play on Gary---GRAY and he is your son.....
Reply:Grayson????
Reply:I think grayson would be really cute.
Reply:Whats your heritage? If your italian or irish or something, look up those names. I am half Italian so I named my son Giovanni, nickname Gianni. Be brave, you will be happy choosing a name not common, and dont let anyone make faces at you for the name you choose either, some people just dont like things that are different. How about Gavin, or Gideon?
Reply:Gareth?


The other options would be to use Gary or similar as a middle name, or to use them as a first name but call your son by his middle name
Reply:You might also consider Garrity, since you mention liking less common names. It's a form of Geraghty.





Other options include ...





Gareth


Gray - just a reversal of the R and A in Gary, but far more "modern" a sound ;)


Graham/Graeme - with Gray as a possible nickname


Grady


Gardener


Garner


Garver


Garvey


Garrod
Reply:Well off the top of my head Garrion, Garth, Gareth, Garren, and Garrick. My favorite is Garrion or Garron which means Guardian.
Reply:I agree with Nadine......if my daughter was a boy we were going to name her Graham ....and it's close enough to Gary
Reply:jerry? gerard? gerald? Garth? Call him sonny...lol!

Reply:maybe Garrison for a middle name? Sorry Gary is a hard name to manipulate.
Reply:Well...you could give his father's name or a variation as a middle name so in reality, it won't matter when he's in school. You could compromise that way, give your husband the Garrison for the middle name and you choose the first. But, if it absolutely has to be his first name...





Garan/Garran

Garson - I hate it but you might like it lol
