Larry

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.

I love this name. Honestly, I think it deserves a revival. I can picture this name on any age.

I hate it, very old, ugly, and nerdy.

Nice name! I've never met a Larry, but I think it's cool.

This could possibly be a nickname for Lawrence.

Silly sounding name!

Very goofy and ugly.

Youthful nickname.

I think of a yellow toad.

It's decent. Better than Gary.

I can imagine this being the name of a blonde haired teenager who is identical to Draco Malfoy.

Very goofy-sounding.

I think Larry would make a good girl's name. I have it as a nickname from my name Mary, and I find it cute and fun. Also it’s very easy for people to pronounce.

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.

I love this name - it’s sweet sounding, yet very masculine. Not very common, not too long - just right.

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.

If you want your son to be a gyno, do not name him Larry.

"LARRY!" All I can think of is Joe constantly shouting this in Impractical Jokers.

For some reason, I love Larry as a name :)

Larry sure doesn't remind me of some fat old guy. I actually love the name Larry. It is very cute and great. I think you are overreacting or making yourself hate that name. Just give it up. Larry is a cute name.

Reminds me of Larry The Cable Guy, who played Larry Guthrie in my favorite movie Tooth Fairy 2. He proved in that movie that real men can wear any amount of pink.

I really don't like this name at all. I think it's boring and it makes me think of some fat old guy.

Lots of Larry's where I grew up. Very Italian area. Think it's short for Lorenzo or something like that.

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.

This is my dad's name. It will always remind me of him. To me, it sounds old, not something I'd expect or want to see on a young child or teenager, or even someone who is in their 20s or 30s.

Larry makes me think of some mischievous, yet lovable guy. Nice name.

Once again this name is a lot like Garry, it's better but not by much. Again, fat guy, boring, boring again, no sense of humour. The "arry" is the part I hate.

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.

We don't hear this name often used here in the UK, which is a pity, look at much under-rated but brilliant Rock siner Larry Atello, not to mention Google co-owner Larry Page, (highly intelligent and rich, what more could a woman want from her man?)

I'd never trust a guy whose name was Larry.

Larry is an awesome name.

I love this name. It's awesome!

I feel bad for any kid with this name.
