*ary Names
As I was making up songs to sing to my first daughter yesterday, I began singing the alphabet using names that end in *ary/*erry/*arrie/*ari/*arry.
I occurred to me that there is an incredibly large number of names that sound the same, but with different starting letters. Here is the list:
- Ari
- Barry
- Carrie
- Gary
- Harry
- Jerry
- Kari
- Larry
- Mary
- Perry
- Terry/Teri
So, a summary, of the 26 letters, 11 of them make a name ending with *ary, or that sound. That is 42% of all letters making a name that rhymes. 4 of them could be girls' names, and 8 of them could be boys names.
