I was at school with a Darren (born1964) as far as I can recall, he's the only one I've ever met.

I taught quite a few Darrens between 1973 and 2008. Mostly, it must be said, in the 80s.

As well as the Darrens, there are quite a lot of Darryls around, too. I always thought Darryl was basically a Murrikan name.

The only Darryl I've ever met was in my class at primary school.

It might only be the Imperial Service Medal, but I've got a gong. What's Paul Dacre got?

I know a few. Male and female (the latter born during the peak of Daryl Hannah's career), all born in the 1980s.
