@leopardprintboots he doesn't have another name in mind, he just has opinions on the names I like Grin Although he has said if I give up my idea of a home birth I can choose the name soooo...

I also like Casper but we have a Jasper in the family so considering Cassius. What other names do people like if they like Barnaby?

Barnaby Elf in Ben & Holly Smile

I’m another one saying it has grown on me. I know of one baby Barnaby quite tenuously and at first I was a bit taken aback at the name and then after a while I started thinking how lovely it was.

I think it’s great

@pinkpeoniesplease ahh good luck!! Does your husband need some convincing on Barnaby or is it that he has heart set on another name

user1493494961 · 22/11/2019 09:02

Really like it.

pinkpeoniesplease · 21/11/2019 16:36

Love it, want it for DC3, currently negotiating with husband!

I like it.

Thetimetravelerswife · 21/11/2019 10:52

I like it. Gives me a country bumpkin feel though...depends what your looking for

OrangeZog · 21/11/2019 10:35

I’m not a fan but that might be to do with my feelings about the one that I know and his family. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Love it

FOJeremy · 21/11/2019 10:14

My dog is named Barnaby. DS names him though

Love it, very cute.

TidaQuel · 20/11/2019 21:19

Love it - almost enough to have another baby so I can use it!

DramaAlpaca · 20/11/2019 21:17

All I can think of when I hear it is Midsomer Murders. Oh, and teddy bears for some reason.

MikeUniformMike · 20/11/2019 21:16

Really like it. I know two and a Barney who is Barnabas on bc.

isthewinefinished · 20/11/2019 21:15

Aw that's what I was going to be called if I'd been a boy. Do have a soft spot for it

Leopardprintboots · 20/11/2019 21:15

Why isn’t it more popular? I don’t understand?

Leopardprintboots · 20/11/2019 21:15

A great name- love it!

diddlediddle · 20/11/2019 21:14

It's grown on me recently! I quite like it. It's a proper name for a start and has good nn potential.

NaToth · 20/11/2019 21:12

I know one. He's a lovely lad. His mates call him Barney.

I like it.
