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

[Malcolm Armsteen]

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

[mattomac]

Yeah we had a few in my schooling in the 80s/90s.

[Abernathy]

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

[Yug]

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

[Boiler]

I know a couple from my former workplace.

[Samanfur]

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

There's Darryl Jones the long standing Rolling Stones bass player who's too black and American to be bumped up to full member.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Don't get me started on Jordan, J'ordan, Geordan, Jorden or Ghordan...

[Andy McDandy]

A teacher once took me through the sliding scale of Rhys and its variants. Rhys at the top and likely to do well, and at the bottom some real WTF spellings.

[Youngian]

Not good names for the self employed if you want a website. Bill Fox is.

There could be other reasons: Not being as wrinkly as an inuit's bawbag.
It took 15 years for Ronnie Wood to make the grade.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

And he IS as wrinkly as an Inuit's bawbag, and has been for years...

Still a young whippersnapper in his mid 60s. Darryl's been a sideman since the early 90s but he is in demand playing for other big names so perhaps didn't want to be a full time Stone.
