ollieollie 766 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 It's good in a way that unusual names are not such a big deal anymore. I had an unusual name for an Essex lad growing up in the 80/90s....... Got the piss taken out of it through school, even teachers getting it wrong every new school year & people always asking if I was welsh........................I'm not fcuking welsh!! Ok?!?! Haha..... I hated my name. I just wanted to be called john. I don't think that's such a big deal these days with all these different names........which is one less thing to worry about at school I suppose....;-) My dad was gutted I didn't name my son after him, but I didn't want to call my son Barry.....haha...Its a personal thing. I know people have mentioned generational naming & that seems a nice thing to do, but I would of been the awkward cnut bucking the trend, sorry I'm just like that, I'm a do the opposite type prick.....Haha .....Some lovely names on this thread though :-) f**k all wrong with Barry . You should know that Percival. Funny though, Barrys are usually complete bellends in films, books. Never known a super hero called Barry. My hob ferret is called Barry, hes my only ferret with a name My kids are called Patrick & Cillian. I have a third on the way but no names yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
