Finley or Barnaby?

My 3 week old needs a name. Brother is Fred. Open to other options too!

Much prefer Barnaby to Finley, but I do think Fred and Barnaby might go Flintstones.

I think you'll be better giving them different initials, but agree with everyone else you can't make them into the Flinstones.

oneinamillieon · 12/11/2023 22:00

barnaby is awful. definitely finley.

wited · 12/11/2023 19:51

Finley will be forever saying with an e too. I would go back to the drawing board

wited · 12/11/2023 19:49

You can't have a Fred and a Barney

Watchthedoormat · 12/11/2023 19:48

I don't like either but by a small margin I prefer Finley

WanderingWitches · 12/11/2023 19:47

Finley
I'm not a fan of either names but Barnaby is particularly dreadful

Newuser75 · 12/11/2023 19:45

Barnaby is lovely

Or Rupert or Hugo.

Cloudb · 12/11/2023 19:36

Finley

glasshalffull0 · 12/11/2023 18:35

Finley

RadRad · 12/11/2023 18:00

Barnaby or Brady

SleepingStandingUp · 12/11/2023 17:42

Fred and Barney definitely

theduchessofspork · 12/11/2023 17:41

Barnaby

Too many Finlays

I don’t mind the Flintstones ref

Otherwise

Arnold / Arnie
Ernest / Ernie
Laurence / Laurie
Tobias / Toby - or just Toby
James / Jim
Zachary / Zach

Finley. Barnaby is awful (and yes, the flintstones)

Changednayme · 12/11/2023 17:07

Barnaby

NotFastButFurious · 12/11/2023 16:51

Fred and Finley or Fred and Fin is too many F’s for me! I like Barnaby but immediately thought of the Flintstones!
