Not Sylvester. Others OK.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Don't like Sylvester. Love Barnaby and I like Frederick and Fred but hate Freddie.

[Cereal]

Sylvester - a dapper, slim man from the 1950s in a grey suit and a hat, smoking outside a Jazz club
Frederick - a classic name so hard to picture what "a Frederick" would look like, but I'd imagine a nice friendly middle-class chap
Barnaby - quite a nice guy, though a bit wet

[PorkChopSter]

Sylvester is a duck. Or is that Tweety Pie?

Like Barnaby a lot.
Frederick ok but lots of Freddies around.

[FootprintsOnTheMoon]

Barnaby is a bear

Frederick is a foreign prince

Sylvester is a sweaty muscle man.

Too much TV? Moi?

[pointydog]

Sylvester - some sort of comedy character like McCoy or Tweety Pie. Joke name.

Frederick - or Fred/Freddie? 1920s dapper gent, old-fashioned family name or middle class kid

Barnaby - an oxbridge fop

[CurwySwide]

Sylvester - the cat that tries to eat Tweety Pie, or Sylvester McCoy. Do not like it at all, sorry.

Frederick - posh, blonde. Like Fred as a shortened version, but do not like Freddie at all.

Barnaby - doesn't remind me of anything in particular, really love it. Do not like Barney at all however - big purple dinosuar.

Sylvester - a sporty strong man

Frederick - a swede

Barnaby - a bear/dinosaur
