"The name became so popular in the 1950s because of actor Gary Cooper, who starred in such movies as "High Noon", "Pride of the Yankees" and "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town", and won three Academy Awards along the way.His name is also mentioned in the Irving Berlin song "Puttin' on the Ritz", in the line "Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper, trying hard to look like Gary Cooper.""

"Yes my name is Gary. I was born in 1952. I guess that was a cool name back then but now it's so borning I'm considering changing it to something cool like AIOYSIUS yes now thats a great name. Every time people ask me for my name and can't figure out how to spell it, I can tell them when my name was GARY I never once had to spell my borning name for anyone so I guess changeing my name to ALOYSIUS isn,t such a good idea after all. Long live the simple and some what borning names, like GARY and Beth, met 1-23-72 married 6-2-73" Jan. 21, 2007:
