Bland and inoffensive.

It's a bland name.

Allan/Allen are surnames and despite sounding the same are apparently incapable of bridging the surname/first name gap.

Allan or Allen sound the same, but somehow look less grey.

There are quite a few in my parent's circle of friends...

When I talk to my Geordie friends (in their mid thirties), it seems that every other male of their age group is called Alan.
I wouldn't say it was off the wall or reto. Just dull and dated.

Alan Bennett hates his name and believes it has held him back, made him feel inadequate and timid as an Alan could never do xyz.
