Cat Grant told Barry that his name makes her think of a man in a trenchcoat in an alleyway. But Barry actually reinforces the "Flash of lightning" meaning and people who immediately think of a slang for stripping despite all of the lightning imagery must have a really dirty mind. At least Flash fits Barry better than Scott Summers calling himself Cyclops. Everyone knows a cyclops has one eye. And his visor does not make it look like his has one eye. Cool shades = Cyclops? I don't get it. Well Cyclops is because of the fact that when he wears his Visor, it looks like he has one eye.

Barry's name can be taken to either meaning though.
