As an English person, born and raised, it's quite obvious why Anglo Americans would use surnames connected to their ancestral roots. Why on earth would you have a problem with that? It's a totally reasonable thing to do. No need to be petty.

Barclays bank. Nice for a surname. I'm in England and there was a boy in my class with this as a surname. I think it may appeal to American citizens as a first name as they do that with a lot of surnames (give their offspring British surnames as first names) even if they have no connection to the name strangely.

How funny I'm not even the first person to be mentioning McElroy content in these comments, but in The Adventure Zone: Amnesty, someone named Barclay is literally bigfoot (brought to you by the McElroy bros, aka the same people who produce My Brother, My Brother and Me)

I really like this name for a man. No nicknames needed. But you could use Clay if necessary. I didn't like hearing someone named their dog Barclay. Sad use for a great name.

LOL I am reading posts about dogs named Barkley and cute name for a dog- lol MY 15 year old dog is named Barkley! No, I would never consider Barkley or Barclay (I hate that spelling) for a girl - it is definitely a boys' name.

Cute name for a dog. I like the spelling Barkley a lot, that's adorable (for a dog of course). I'm horrified to see that this name is actually used on girls. What are those parents thinking? Imagine a 40 year old woman named Barclay. Heck, imagine a girl of any age with the name! It doesn't sound right at all. It seems as if every masculine name is becoming feminized these days...

Sounds like a snobby British name to me, like Benedict or Archibald.
