Dp has mentioned that he likes this. I'm not sure.
Opinions would be helpful.

If you have a girl will you call her Becky?

I don't like it, sorry.

barnaby's a great name, I know of a cute little boy with the name, normally shortened to 'barney'.

I have a Barnaby. In terms of nicknames he gets Barnes, or Barnaboy, but not yet Barney, which I don't like so much.

And yes, I do sometimes call him Barnaby Bear ...

We too have a Barnaby! He refuses to be called anything else than full on Barnaby, and frankly neither me nor any of my friends (bar one) has ever heard of Barnaby bear nor ever mentioned it.

My first true love was a Barnaby. Everyone called him Barnes. I like it.

My mate has a Barnaby and he's always been called Barney, wouldn't have been a name I'd have chosen but I quite like it, mainly because the Barney we know is a sweetie.

I love it.
But then I used to have a car called Barnaby.
I'd use it for a boy but my DH wouldn't let me......
