the male name Barry....how do you pronounce it? |
|
Is it Barry as in bah bah Barry black sheep?
Or is it like Berry berry quite contrary?
or like Bear is in I love to cuddle with Teddy Beary?
Any other pronounciations?

1. "Bar" as in where you get drinks, "ry" as in rye bread... |
|
Definitely go with this pronunciation if you come across one..

2. It's bah Barry just like Larry |

Berry this drives me nuts.
Beary is close enough but still get a bit of a BP spike from it.
It's bah Barry just like Larry

people still misspell my name Berry and I very much dislike this, it's like come on, "Berry" is not a name!
Beary I've gotten used to being on the west coast for thirty years, although the correct pronounciation should be Barry just like Larry...

I know lots of Barry's who pronounce it like Larry. Commodore Barry and Barry Goldwater - that's how they pronounced it. In fact, I've never met a Barry who pronounced it any other way.
