Barnaby, Rex or Sonny?

So baby boy is due in a couple of months and so far we have managed to shortlist 3 names, but we can't agree on one of the 3!

Hubby likes Sonny best, then Rex but I LOVE Barnaby!

Which do you like better/sounds better with our surname - Atkinson?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

None of them. They are dogs names.

MumOnACornishFarm · 07/06/2016 18:54

I like them all, but I'm with you on Barnaby! It's lovely. All of them work really well with your surname too.

Andbabymakesthree · 07/06/2016 16:28

None of them sorry!

AnotherUsernameBitesTheDust · 07/06/2016 16:27

Barnaby -it's the best name ever (slightly biased here, I have one)

confusionoftheillusion · 07/06/2016 16:23

Barny rubble
Tyrannosaurs Rex
Sonny and Cher

Sorry but I don't like any of them. The least awful is probably .... Pause.... Thinking.... No sorry I can't find anything good about any of them!

DramaAlpaca · 07/06/2016 15:53

Barnaby.

I don't like the others.

Loafingaround · 07/06/2016 15:15

100% Rex!

If I ever have a DS we will use this name. Its fab- and goes superbly with Atkinson.

minipie · 07/06/2016 14:24

Barnaby and Rex are nice

Sonny is awful (sorry)

winkywinkola · 07/06/2016 14:24

Ds2 is Barnaby Rex. Love those names.

Gummibaers · 07/06/2016 14:20

I like Barnaby! Not so keen on Sonny or Rex, they both sound a little comical and cutesy in comparison.

JanuaryJuniper · 07/06/2016 13:46

Love love love Rex but it is one of those marmite names people either love it or loathe it!!

Millyonthefloss · 07/06/2016 13:38

Barnaby. It's great.

Rex is an irritating character on the Archers.

LadyAntonella · 07/06/2016 13:31

Barnaby by miles for me - it's really lovely, then Sonny, then Rex (which I really dislike - sorry).

SparklyPenguin · 07/06/2016 13:26

They're all lovely and work well with the surname. Sonny is a bit more of a nn so I'd opt for one of the others.

Just5minswithDacre · 07/06/2016 13:20

Barnaby is gorgeous, lovely, gorgeous

EssentialHummus · 07/06/2016 13:17

Rex goes best with Atkinson, though I'm not a huge fan of any of these names.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 07/06/2016 13:07

Barnaby or Rex.

Not Sonny, it's horrible.

BertrandRussell · 07/06/2016 13:05

Sonny is awful. May as well call him Youngfellermelad.

I would go for Barnaby Rex.

cosmicglittergirl · 07/06/2016 13:05

Barnaby.

Sophronia · 07/06/2016 13:03

Not keen on any, but Rex if I had to pick.

BlueDove · 07/06/2016 12:54

Barnaby is the nicest, but I'm not keen on any... Sorry!

Alisvolatpropiis · 07/06/2016 11:43

Rex.

Strongly dislike Sonny.

squoosh · 07/06/2016 11:43

Rex.

AliciaMayEmory · 07/06/2016 11:13

I love Barnaby! I had a divine hairdresser who was Barnaby nn Barney.

PatriciaHolm · 07/06/2016 11:11

Sonny is a nickname.

Rex is a dinosaur ;-)
