What 'feel' do each of these names give you? These would be names on BC, no lengthened versions.

Barnaby - love it, just envisage a cute little boy
Otto - Sounds like Otter
Gus - cute

I have a Gus (so I’m biased) and his best friend is Otto, funnily enough. They are both good, strong, straightforward names in my opinion. I’m not keen on Barnaby; too long for me. I prefer names that don’t get shortened.

They are all a bit try hard posh sorry!

I voted Otto, as it’s fresh and different sounding without any strong associations (to me).

Gus and Barney personally make me think of various comical cartoon characters - that’s possibly my age though and younger generations will have a fresh view on them.

Barnaby - ok, only know 2. Nice but long. Will probably be Barney
Otto - didn't like it but sort of getting used to it now
Gus - know 2 neither of whom are Angus. (Augustus and Gustav)

Barnaby: teddy bear. Too cutsie.
Otto: more of a dog’s name
Gus: I like. Quite cool. I would call him Augustus though, with Gus as his ‘known as’ name. See which gives better initials with your surname.

I only like Gus/Angus.

Otto is a fat old German man with a moustache.

Barnaby sounds posh/formal.

Barnaby - posho
Otto - German
Gus - is good. Short for Angus. Or just good on its own.
