I've also known a few Americans named Guy. There are some famous French Canadian athletes named Guy. A shit ton of French dudes named Guy. I have a bunch of German colleagues. I've never heard the name used among modern Germans.
The only actual formal etymolgy TRACING the name I can find is French Norman from Old German (Wido).
I don't particularly care. Simply I NEVER thought of Guy as a German name and can't find much (any) actual evidence to support it. But I haven't put a lot of time into it. I stand to be corrected.
Anyway, I love the French. A lot of great things about their culture and a very rich history. In no way I'm sideways making fun of you for having what I think of as a French name.
