The first thing that I thought of when I saw Barry in your heading was about the fact that Barry is something that right-wing people like to call Barack Obama, along with Obummer, Oblunder, and 0bama. Barry is supposed to be an insult, although it's not so obviously an insult as the others. I guess it's insulting because he isn't really called Barry, so it seems impudent and too familiar.

So that's a fairly new association and I'm sure that I'm the only one who has it. Otherwise, I like Barry. It's handsome. It's not used much now, so I think it would make a good choice for a child. I definitely think it could work today.
