Dad didn't like it at the time and it seems he still doesn't. Its a little long but here we go it is something to kill the boredom of this covid induced pause on all our lives.
My mate had a lot of people who I didn't know so this is how I introduced myself.
Hi, for those who do not know me I am Garry, Garry with 2 r's, that is my dad over their he is Gary with one r. That's right my parents were that creative with names that when their 1st son was born they couldn't come with a name and obviously looked around the room for inspiration and with my mum seeing my dad pronounced "I know lets call him Garry! We will add an extra r so it is not the same name". Now this was not their only uninspired choice, they were all set to call my brother Bruce Wayne until they were told that Bruce Wayne is batman.
Now back to all the people here who do not know me, I am Garry with 2 r's and my dad is Gary with 1 r and my grandfather was gay!
Maybe I’m bored senseless but that made me laugh out loud! Clever mate!
I guess I was destined for a career in teaching with a spelling joke mate!
