Which do you prefer for DS2? If neither then what else?

Hamish.

Or Ba(r)nish-combine the twoGrin

Yourshakraishangingout · 24/09/2017 07:36

Love them both-find it very difficult to choose but at a push I would pick Barnaby

BenLui · 24/09/2017 07:05

Banish??? Grin autocorrect clearly prefers Barnaby!

BenLui · 24/09/2017 07:04

Banish.

Greendale there’s nothing wispy about Hamish, he’s a strapping man in a kilt.

Don't like Hamish, always found it a bit wispy

Barnaby. I love the name Barney.

Snapespeare · 14/09/2017 22:31

I have a Hamish. I have a photo of him next to the St. Andrews cat, Hamish McHamish.

Barnaby nice, but if shortened to Barney makes me think 'Rubble'

MikeUniformMike · 14/09/2017 22:27

I like both and know of at least one successful Barnaby.

joolspoon · 14/09/2017 22:25

LOVE Hamish

Barnaby

cottonwool125 · 14/09/2017 17:49

I wanted Barnaby for DS but DP vetoed Sad so out of the two, Barnaby is my favourite Grin

Loyly · 14/09/2017 17:49

Hamish

Scribblegirl · 14/09/2017 17:46

I love both, I know a really lovely lawyer called Barnaby but either works. I may be biased though as a friend has a (gorgeous) Hamish so I don't think I could use it!

Lemondrop99 · 14/09/2017 17:45

Hamish.

Barnaby feels a bit like a pet name to me

Sophronia · 13/09/2017 23:14

Hamish. I prefer Barnabas to Barnaby.

georgie262 · 13/09/2017 17:30

I like Barnaby but my grandad was Barney so I'm biased but I live it

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 13/09/2017 17:09

Hamish, a good strong name.

CakeRattleandRoll · 13/09/2017 14:32

Hamish is a great name.

bridgetreilly · 13/09/2017 10:33

Barnaby is lovely.

GiveMyHeadPeaceffs · 13/09/2017 10:32

I love the name Hamish

Hamish.

Barnaby is dire. And Barnaby Joyce (Australia's Deputy PM) is a dipshit, and I say that as someone who votes Liberal.

Choccyhobnob · 13/09/2017 10:05

I secretly love Barnaby but it would never get past DH...

WinterRose92 · 13/09/2017 10:05

I really like both but Hamish just tips it for me!

TwitterQueen1 · 13/09/2017 10:04

Op those names are far too nice and sensible. I vote for Peace or Nosh. Or something like Ayedreean, just to be yooneek.
