His parents weren’t spellers.

Barry Dan O’Sullivan
The Kerry’s love a double barrell first name
Its generally got to do with the O’Sullivan surname.
So many O’Sullivans in Kerry so lads are given a second first name after their father or grand father (cant remember which) so Barry’s father or grandfather is called Dan (I presume)…its to distinguish him from another Barry O’Sullivan…think thats the reasoning behind it but i could be wrong.
Similar to all the Ryan family nicknames in Tipp and Limerick

Oscar Bob.
Sounds like a horse.
“Oscar Bob got Cheltenham off to a great start for the Irish today by winning the Sun Alliance Novices Hurdle for Willie Mullins with Barry Geraghty on board.”
Sounds like someone from Peaky Blinders
That’s Harry Ladd.
About an hour and a half ago I watched a clip on the YouTubes of Liam and Noel Gallagher making fun of Damon Albarn’s accent at the 1996 Brit Awards.
“And they all go 'and in 'and, 'end in 'end through their…Marmite/Shoite Loife”.
I thought of the “We’re Cockneys, have you got any jellied eels?” sketch from the Fast Show and the name Harry Ladd while watching this.
Michael Ryan Winnie. Clonoulty Rossmore.
