Or Bartholomew, which would mean Bart Simpson is a Bartholomew, which means he's also a Barry.

Barrington!! Going up in the world so Sure you could say, Bartholemew as well.

But I'll go by my old national school teacher, he said my real name was Finnbarr and whom am I to question that wisdom

You didn't read before school?

Nope, they were definitely friends, I think Tara and Ben were brother and sister. (whose father worked at the toothpaste factory)

I 'read' before school (as far as you can call a anything a 4 or 5 year old does reading', but I didn't re-read the same sentence over and over the same way as you do in school so I don't remember any specific sentences that I may have encountered before then

The name Barry reminds me of the town Barrie in Gavin and Stacey.
Ergo Barry/Barrie makes me smile.

My memory of this is sketchy, but I'm pretty sure that their parents were Raëlians and they lived together in the commune while awaiting the return of their extra terrestrial overlords

If your name is Barry Barry does that make it twice as bad?

Barry is short for Finbarr?...you learn something new every day. It beats Finny I suppose.

Finbar White!! Ha!



Is Barry REALLY short for Finbar?

Ruu

Big Boy Barry was cool!:mad:

One of my best mates is a barry and all our best stories revolve around him.

So I'll see your Barry and raise you a Lionel for boring name of the year award!

Sauve

I can't think of one Barry that I know! That's a bit mad.

Depends if it's a first name or surname.

Finbar Barry Furey

Barry Allen: fastest man alive!

Eh hello aren't we all forgetting Barry's Balloons Party Shop?? How can that be boring? It's a shop full of parties!

I know one Barry and I like to call him Baz, cos I reckon that's cooler and I can pretend I'm a cockney. Bazza sometimes.

"Barrytown" was where Jimmy Rabbitte and the Commitments were from; a thinly disguised Kilbarrack which also has a "barr" in its name.

Some people who pretend they know him call Obama "Barry" instead of Barrack. (in fact, as an aside, I hate when people do that in interviews: "Q: So how was working with Robert De Niro? A: Oh Bob is great!" Its like, "look at me, I'm so in with Robert De Niro!". etc

Barry De Niro? Yeah Baz is great!

Cilit Bang is an anagram of I Bang Clit.

The food in Joels is muck, never had a nice meal in the place. Lemon grass in CityWest is lovely though.

Isn't Barry White dead? Went all Joel on the burgers?
