The 24-year-old netted the winner as the Toffees ran out 1-0 victors at Newcastle United on Monday.
The Frenchman then scored twice to inspire an Everton comeback in a 3-1 win over Coventry City on Friday.
That took Barry's tally in the Premier League this season to six, while he has 10 across all competitions for David Moyes' side.
While there is still an element of frustration about the chances he misses, there has been an improvement in terms of goal return.
And Sky Sports News presenter Roman Kemp thinks Barry will soon have a Harry Kane-inspired nickname.
What did Ronan Kemp dub Everton ace Thierno Barry?
Barry is still comfortably top of the statistics for 'big chances' missed in the Premier League this season.
But he does earn praise for his workrate and willing attitude, as well as an uncanny knack of being in the right place at the right time.
Barry was a topic of discussion on Sky Sports News on Saturday morning following his Friday night double.
Kemp was in discussion with Steve Sidwell about the qualities Barry brings to Everton's line-up, and how high his ceiling is.
That inspired Kemp to give him the hilarious nickname "Barry Kane" in homage to new Ballon d'Or winner and England captain Harry Kane.
At the end of the discussion, Kemp said: "Honestly, by the end of this season they're going to start calling him Barry Kane, I'm calling it now."
Thierno Barry still a work-in-progress at Everton
It's great to see Barry among the goals, and hopefully there is plenty more to come from the Frenchman.
Last season, there were glimpses of Barry's talent and he has been putting in the hard yards to improve his game.
There has certainly been evidence of that improvement considering his improved goal return so far.
But it is also true that Barry remains a work in progress, not least because he needs to find a more clinical edge.
However, Barry is finding some form and he deserves immense credit for the way he is leading the line at Everton.
