Kerry is given to both boys and girls in the United States, reaching peak popularity in the 1960s. There are approximately 90,000 people named Kerry in the US today.
The name Kerry's root letters are KR.
The letter R is the classic icon of all things romantic, racy, randy, ravishing and robust, and the letter K the predicator of sharply decisive physical action. When these two positive letters dominate a name, they evoke the unambiguous image of someone with a defiant disposition and uncommon self-confidence.
The firm and fun-loving Kerrys know how to balance work and play. In their professional lives, they are renowned for their fierce focus and willingness to compete, while their private lives are characterized by their hard-driving sense of adventure. The one thing that stands out about the KR personalities is their particularly close and long-lasting friendships. Mind you, these friendships aren’t stable because they’re effusive or overly demonstrative; Kerrys prefer to express their affections obliquely -- through quiet devotion and off-handed gestures -- rather than through overtly emotional displays.
Kerrys are not averse to taking chances in their careers but avoid undue risks by always having a plan B at the ready. Since they aren’t particularly well organized, their skills are best utilized in careers involving people or animals. Their somewhat ethereal approach to life tends to limit their advancement in the professional world, and for the same reason, Kerrys don’t mesh well with left-brained practical types. But whatever they decide to do for a living, you can count on them bringing a positive energy and a resolute commitment to getting the job done right.
Kerrys prove to be elusive intimate partners, for they are not only hard to come by but also hard to keep. You can track them down by following a trail of broken hearts and -- while you’d never accuse a KR of being cruel -- there’s a little ice water running through those veins. Kerrys know exactly what they want from their relationships and have no qualms about brushing up the blue suede and walking out when things aren’t going their way. And don't count on appealing to these wayward spirits with the offer of a traditional family setting; the Kerrys’ opinion of a white-picket-fence is akin to most people’s opinion of a funeral.
Married life with a KR will be a loosely organized but affectionate institution. Not being overly methodical, things function better when they’re not the ones in charge of the social calendar, although there is something to be said for the KR’s spontaneity when it comes to throwing parties.
Children will appreciate their parent’s emphasis on fun. They will be gently disciplined and instilled with the same individualistic principles that rule the Kerrys’ lives.
