tamthebam Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Bit of a cheat and the wrong spelling but Dick York who played DarrIn in "Bewitched" was born in 1928 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aim Here Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Plundering Wikipedia, there's a Darren Daye who was born in 1960 and was an American basketball player, and an actor born in 1922 who used the stage name Darren McGavin - he started to hit the big time circa the late 1950s, early 1960s, coinciding roughly with the rise of the name, so maybe he was the guy who popularized it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 The names Darren, Tabitha and Samantha became popular in America (and maybe elsewhere) because of the TV show Bewitched (1964-72). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) Not long now 'til a lollipop man called Darren. Edited June 18, 2023 by Cosmic Joe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Names like Darren don't inspire confidence to the same degree as more old fashioned names. I don't mind the car mechanic being called Darren, but not my heart surgeon. It's the same as having tattoos. It's fine if you're some blue collar labourer, but I wouldn't want a psychologist or lawyer with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duszek Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) Darren Naish is an esteemed paleontologist. Fair play. Overcame the greatest hurdle life could throw at him. A lesson to other Darrens, imo. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darren_Naish Edited June 18, 2023 by Duszek edit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 One of my best mates is called Darren. He was born in 1974. He fucking hates it when people call him Daz. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
