I don't think I've ever met a Gary.

Edit: I did more digging and this is false

Let's clear this up - the last person to be called Gary WAS NOT BORN IN 1992 and they will not die out by 2050.

The story comes from the Daily Mash, a very funny site but really, when this quote was used, everyone should have known it was a joke:

"Logan, who tours maternity hospitals promoting the name Gary, said: 'We’ve already lost Alan, the last Ken is living in a shed in Farnborough and the Lees that were once at every party claiming they knew martial arts are increasingly rare.'"

Still never met one though, but I'm Canadian.

Imagine being a travelling name salesman. This takes brand promotion to a whole new level.
