Kenneth, all the way. Garrett would turn into Gary (or maybe Garry, but it's a distinction without a difference) overnight.

My brother Garrett lived 64 years without ever being called Gary. My son Garrett is 37 and never has been called Gary.

I know 100 Garretts who are never Gary. I thought about that too - Ken is better than Gary, even though Garrett is kinda better than Kenneth. But I feel like Kenneth is sooo much more likely to become Ken than Garrett is Gary.

Yeah am I the only one who would have never associated Garret and Gary? I never would've considered a Garret going by Gary. To my knowledge, I've never known a Gary that was short for Garret, and I've never known a Garret who used a nickname, so I guess I just never thought of it as a "thing!"

I'm not so sure about that. I knew a Garrett in high school who was never Gary.

At my prior workplace, I had a co-worker whose son was named Garrett and she always referred to him as Garrett. I don't know for a fact that he was never called Garry by anyone, but at least she never referred to him that way.

I know a Garrett that goes by Garrett and he's in his late 20s.
