I think it could work for sure, I mean, why not? Cary Grant was a manly man imo and he would be the first person who comes to mind when saying this name.

I like it

Cary Elwes pulls it off too. :) There's also a news guy from around here named Cary, although he spells it Kerry. I think it could be pulled off.

I love Cary! Sure it's a surname, but it doesn't read trendy to me at all. Instead I think it sounds timeless and romantic (thanks to Cary Grant). I also like it spelled Carey, and can never decide with I prefer.

I knew a male Carey it works well on a guy

Definitely. I mean you also have Cary Elwes who is pretty well known for The Princess Bride and Robin Hood : Men In Tights. It's a handsome name and I actually know people who would switch most names to girls but still think that Cary spelt that way belongs to a boy.

As a nickname..

It's a surname, so it's very trendy.

Love it

I grew up watching old Hollywood movies, so obviously I'm influenced strongly by Cary Grant. But I've always really loved it for a boy.

There's an English actor today, Cary Elwes, so Mr. Grant isn't the only namesake. I know a Cary who is about 50 years old; it's short for Clarence in his case. But I've thought about using Cary as a nn for Charles too.

If parents of little girls are using names like Kyle, Evan and Sean for their dds, I don't see why a genuinely masculine name like Cary couldn't work well on the playground for a boy.

Have you thought about mns?
