DH has just announced that he would like this DC to have his father's name as a middle name if a boy. It is Barry. Would we be too cruel to burden bestow a child with this name?

One of my best friends is called Barrie. Occasionally he gets the odd comment but actually it is fairly irrelevant. I think a middle name is a great way to show respect to someone you love and doesn't really matter what it is.

No, it's a great name.

It is possibly the worst name ever.

I think your post really says it all as you're obviously not keen. Maybe you could compromise - does he have a better middle name? Or maybe you could change it a little to Harry? Or how about make a list of middle names that you like and let oh dad choose his favourite and involve m that way.

Yes. Are you nuts? It's awful.
