User Comments about the name Barry
Comment left May 20, 2009: "Im 21 and am not sure about having the name Barry. Most people who have the name seem to be older than me. I think i will like it more as i get older" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 18, 2008: "Wow, these comments are so true... I can't help but wonder if the Barry's these people have met was me, because I also happen to be six foot two, good looking, and slightly full of myself!
I love my name, one thing i have found is its one of those names almost everyone has a different way of pronouncing it.
And, yes, it gets mis-spelled like you read about!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 04, 2008: "Barryoke, Just like karaoke but sung by people called Barry!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 23, 2008: "Makes me think of grown men who are handsome-looking six-footers. When they were very young boys, the name was in fashion, but it is no longer so these days. However, I think this is one of those names now ripe for female adoption alongside other dad-grandpa names like Gary, Stanley, Arthur, Wayne, Stuart, Howard, and Murray which all sound terminally outmoded as male names."

Comment left Aug 07, 2007: "My name is Barry, I have met a few guys with the same name. born 1959." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 02, 2007: "I love my name--it's not mundane, nor is it "out there." There's a uniqueness to it, because rarely do I meet another one with the name, but it's still well known. I HATE it when people spell it "Berry" though." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 04, 2007: "my dad's name is barry, being the 3rd child I was supposed to be junior, but I came out a girl and was still named Barri." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 01, 2007: "I met a wonderful guy names Barry, but I don't care for how the name sounds" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 14, 2007: "I love the comments...all so true...why is it so hard for people to pronouce it properly?? Most just shorten it to "Bear"!" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Oct 24, 2006: "I never liked the name when I was younger because people used to make fun of it, but now i've come to love it. It's unique, but still more common than most people think. People often pronounce it berry rather than barry. I meet other Barrys mostly on the east coast rather than the west coast. all in all it's a great name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 20, 2006: "Barry is of Irish origin. I am Irish and the proper pronounciation is like "Bar-ray" not "Berry" or "Bao-ri"" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 16, 2006: """People misspell the name (Barrie,Berry etc) and also pronounce it like "Berry"""
OMG you are so right! Its been really annoying all my life!
Oh dont let anyone tell you its an Irish name. Its a WELSH-Norman name that was taking to Irleand during the Anglo-Norman invasions." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 28, 2006: "The Barry I know is an extraordinary person. He's bright, very good looking, personable, and servant-hearted. He's also slightly full of himself, but hey, nobody's perfect." (Report as inappropriate)
