    Isn't that just the worst name you've ever heard. I've never met a interesting Barry, instead of counting sheep when tired just repeat the name Barry.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    It's just such a boring name, why would any parent curse thier child with the name Barry?

    It's the same with Joel, ive never met a Joel I liked and the two I have met were massively obese.

    Google Barry Sheene and read a bit about him, then see if he's boring.

    ex Motorbike racing legend for those of a TL:DR disposition.

    Should we start a support group for people called Barry? They are getting an unfair press. All the Barries I know are pretty cool OK guys.

    Martin is worse. It's just the most dull name ever. It's the sort of name that was chosen in a rush:-

    Woman: what will we call our new baby?
    Man: I don't care, I couldn't be bothered having to think about it.
    Woman: Me too, fcuk it lets just call him Martin.

    Each to their own I suppose, wouldnt find anything wrong with it. Would find Jack, Brian or Paul more boring.

    Here, what's wrong with Barry or Finbarr then? What's your problem :) Finbarr - fair headed, in other words good looking :)

    You could be a chap called Mary or a lassie called Assumpta, but I'm sure there's some fine Assumpta's out there.

    Could also be fair as in "it's ok" like the saying "Fair to middling" when you are doing ok, not great, but not bad.

    Average like. Nothing outstanding about your head. Very Barryish. Not dull, just not, ye know, interesting.

    Gavin is a name I associate with the type of man working in middle management, driving a Ford Mondeo, and buying his clothes in NEXT.

    Top boys’ names in 2011:
    Jack (number 1 since 2007)
    James (number 4 in 2010)
    Sean (number 2 in 2010)
    Daniel (number 3 in 2010)
    Conor (number 5 in 2010)
    Ryan (number since since 2008)
    Adam (number 7 since 2008)
    Harry (number 20 in 2010)
    Michael (number 12 in 2010)
    Alex (number 8 in 2010)

    Dont see how Barry would be considered boring compared to any of these? Jack, Adam, Harry and Alex I'd find particularly bad.

    I thought it was short for Barrington, or possibly Barchester.
