I am a Larry and I have mixed feelings about the name. I worry that it is a bit goofy or unserious and I picture a fat unkempt guy even though I am not that. I do like that it is unusual. I appreciate the comments. Although some are along the lines of my concerns a fair number of people were quite positive about it. I have thought about switching to something else but I'm too old now. Let's say late middle age.

Modesto "Larry" Dulay Itliong (1913-1977), also known as "Seven Fingers", was a Filipino-American labor organizer. He organized West Coast agricultural workers starting in the 1930s, and rose to national prominence in 1965, when he, Philip Vera Cruz, Benjamin Gines and Pete Velasco, walked off the farms of area table-grape growers, demanding wages equal to the federal minimum wage, that became known as the Delano grape strike. He has been described as "one of the fathers of the West Coast labor movement." He is regarded as a key figure of the Asian American movement.

Just because YOUR name is feminine and rhymes with another name doesn't mean the other name is also feminine. Larry is a masculine name. I can't picture this name on a girl.

When I hear Larry I think about fairies...
I guess because I knew a Larry and his nickname was Larry fairy, he was short... real short and so perky and happy, would do anything for you like a fairy. That, and well... it rhymes.

It reminds me of a tall, funny, old guy who who tells bar jokes to his best friends Fred and Mort. I somehow cannot imagine Laurence Olivier ever going by 'Larry'! He is so dignified yet dramatic. Not like a Larry at all.

I think Larry is a very funny name because of all the comical connotations I have with it, such as Larry the Cucumber and Larry the Croc from "Pearls Before Swine". However, if I met someone named Larry, I might have to resist the urge to say "You're killin' me, Larry!" because of that matress commercial.
