Popularity
The name Garrett has been in constant use in the United States for more than a century. During the first half of the 20th century, the name was not popular by any means it was used sparingly. However, by the 1960s the name began to show some life and would rise to some 500 places on the charts in the next 30 years. The year 1990 marks the first time that Garrett achieved a position in the Top 100 list of most commonly used boy's names. Its time on that list could be short-lived, though. It fell out in 2003 and has been slowly going upside down on the charts. It's still a Top 200 favorite. They love this name in Wyoming and Montana, though. It was ranked 85th in Wyoming and 91st in Montana (2011 database). We have to admit, there is some resistance to this name that should appeal to these open, sparsely populated western frontier states. Garrett sounds like a man's man. The brave bearer of a spear.

We are naming our first son Jet (with one t) because It's masculine, strong and simple (his middle name will be my maiden name and his last name is really long so a short simple name was only the right thing to do!) Regardless of how you spell it, It's just a good, strong name!
My son's name is Garrett Bradley. He is a perfect handsome little man. He turned 1 on July 5, 2020. He has blond curly hair and georgous big blue eyes that will melt the hearts of all the little girls.
my name is Garrett. Growing up in the 60's I hated it that I could not get anything with my name on it and teache's told me I got my name wrong. In the late 70's my mom bought me 4 tee-shirts with my name boldly printed on the front. About 1991 I began traveling and wore the'shirts all over. Many people with plane reservations, operators and cler's remarked they liked the name and might use it one day for a child. At one time I traced the name back and found it was very old. The former meaning was "Mighty Warrior with a Spear" (I preferred this to rule with a spear). It was used in Old English and Old Norse, mostly as a sir name. At one time I found a book that'said that "Garretts guarded the garrison", the image of the'soldiers with spears and shields came to mind. The castle Garrett kept coming up in my searches. the "Keep" was suppose to be the most secure place in any castle, above the Keep was a "Garrett" it was a storehouse of weapons and was a place for security and safety as being the last room to fall in the castle. A Garret (Old French)was a habitable attic which was close to being a watch tower, I beli've the name came from the room above the keep as it is associated with military use. The name Garrett became associated with safety and security from this I beli've. I have found it odd how many have heard the name for the first time and associated the name with both stren'th and safety.
it is pronounced GAA-RETT, it is not very common, but i do know several people who share the name with me
My son is Garhett, pronounced the'same as Garrett. We originally wanted to call him Rhett as a nickname, and wanted a slightly unique spelling, but kinda wish now we wouldn't have thrown that'silent 'h' in there. But It's somewhat unique just like my querky and lovable son! My G-Man, as we all call him, is green eyed, tanned skin and very tall for his age.
This is my name and each time someone spells it Mark - I trip over it thinking, hey thats not me. Marc is also some people tend to want to call me Marco or Marcus - neither of which are correct. But I like Marc.

I grew up with the name Garrett and got the typical nicknames. Being redheaded makes Garrett the Carrot jokes that much funnier to kids. The best part, though was growing up and getting in trouble for sitting in my assigned seat in middle school. My teacher was furiously saying, "This is Garret's seat". Promising to her that my name was Garrett, she retaliated with, "but You're not a boy". I'll forever br living with the fact that I will have strangers asking if Garrett is my real name or if I go by something more feminine. Regardless of it all, living as a girl named Garrett comes with great honor to my family

My son's name is Garrett Quinn, his father picked it out. Shortly after, I asked him if he looked at his initials. We both chuckled over it, but we kept it being that we both loved It'so much. When we had Garrett baptized, the pastor joked that one day a magazine would be named after him :).
My son's name is Garrett. he's a blond hair, blue eyed, gentle and loving boy. He has a flair for art, puzzles and lego's. We don't know anyone else with that name.

Garrett is my name and I haven't seen anybody else around with the'same name as me. I see a ton of ashleys, ambers, jareds, and scotts, but I have yet to meet another Garrett.
The gender ambiguity of my name (spelled "Gail," which could be of either gender) came in handy. When I was in the Air Force, when people would call and ask to speak to "him," my NCOs enjoyed telling the caller, "No, but you can speak to her." I was born in 1967 near the peak of popularity of "Gail" as a girl's name. However, It'still wasn't common. It was annoying as a kid to not be able to find anything (jewelry, souvenirs, little metal license plates) with my name on it, unlike my cousins Jim, Bob, John, or Barbara.
