I'd go for Barnaby or Barnabus on the birth certificate. Barney as nn when little, can be something a bit cooler like Barnes when he is older.

I know a lady who called her gorgeous baby Barney
I cough renamed him Barry as a joke and it stuck! (I was joking)
It’s a nice enough name but not to my taste-if you like it that’s all that matters

Agree with other posters.
Purple dinosaur
An argument
Dogs name

I love it but would put Barnaby on the birth certificate

Sorry, sounds like a dog's name...

You might live to regret re purple dinosaur connotations. Don't know if that Barney is still a thing though?! Plus in Scotland 'barney' means massive argument. You must've had doubts otherwise you wouldn't have posted. Sorry! Happy Christmas though xx

Is he not a big purple dinosaur?
Although I'm not sure people know who he is these days
