Hi all,
After months and months (and months) of going backwards and forwards I'm still stuck between Barney and Casper.
If (and only if) you like the names, please could you let me know which you prefer.
I'm a bit in love with both names.
Thanks all

I know a middle-aged doctor called Barney. Works for him.

Agree, it depends if you want to call your child after a dinosaur or a ghost

Casper nn Cass.

Can you imagine a middle aged man called Barney?

I'm trying to imagine a 50 year old plumber or solicitor or whatever called Barney, and I just can't.
It's a cutesy name that will be cute on a toddler or a little old man, but horrendous in the years in between.

Is there anything you like that it could be short for?

Barney if you must, although I hear barney and immediately think dinosaur. I don’t like Casper unless you’re naming a friendly ghost.

Barney.

I love Barney so much! I like Casper too but Barney would be my number one choice if we had another DS.
I've known 2 adult Barneys so don't see it as cutesy. It's a friendly name on an adult and adorable on a little one.

Casper for sure. Barney is a bit too cutesy.
