Yuri (or Yury, Юрий/Юрiй/Юры) is a pretty common slavic name, with the same origins as George but on a different linguistic path. Wikipedia lists a lot of people with this name, including the founder of the city of Moscow Yuri Dolgorukiy (surname translates roughly as Long-handed), chairman of KGB Yuri Andropov, but interestingly doesn't list Yuri Knorozov who is famous for deciphering Maya script and for including his cat Asya as a co-author of his papers.
Interestingly enough, Kim Jong-Il, the previous General Secretary of North Korea, has a birth name of Yuri Irsenovich Kim. I just learned this fact from this very same wiki article, so I decided to immediately share

I have a coworker named Yuri, who emigrated from the USSR, and the auto-captioning of videochats keeps calling him Fury.
Just waiting for the nominative determinism to kick in.

I’m sure your 50 year old dad has seen pictures of women doing more than just kissing. These anime girls are not going to shock him.

Remember, always lie and steal from your parents to keep them off the internet.
