The proposed "Barry Allen (time remnant)" is closest, but there have been other time remnants of Barry Allen.

Gypsy etc. are different, because we have at least partial names for them, but they are primarily known by aliases. On a similar note, we have Adrian Chase (not Simon Morrison), and prior to Flashpoint we had Connor Hawke (not John Diggle, Jr.) Even the one we know them primarily by is not their real name though.
