Would probably shorten Barnabas to Barney.

Opinions please

They are both nice. Shame about Damon Albarn, but people will forget about him soon enough.

pranma · 01/08/2009 21:48

I think Barney is lovely-Damon is a bit too demon child for me.

MrsMattie · 01/08/2009 20:37

Both hideous.

If I had a baby boy here right now, I would call him Damon.

Gold tooth to come later

janeite · 31/07/2009 23:15

You know, it's still not swying me around to Damon as a name. Barnaby rocks in comparison!

pointydog · 31/07/2009 23:14

he was so lithe and bouncy and jumped up and down for ages without getting sore knees

AitchTwoOh · 31/07/2009 23:14

back to the drawing board, i think.

pointydog · 31/07/2009 23:13

well I just thought he looked fukcing good compared to me

Paolosgirl · 31/07/2009 23:10

Damon reminds me of Damien and the Omen, and Barney is the name of the dog next door, so that's out for me too.

janeite · 31/07/2009 23:06

I was just shocked at how much he'd aged - dp made me go and look in the mirror!

random · 31/07/2009 23:04

awful

pointydog · 31/07/2009 23:04

I thought damon albarn looked pretty hot at glasto, aksherly jane

Tidey · 31/07/2009 22:55

Sorry, Barnabas. Read it wrong. In which case, it reminds me of the Vicar of Dibley.

Tidey · 31/07/2009 22:54

Damon reminds me too much of Team America.

Barnaby sounds like a talking teddy bear.

Sorry.

donnie · 31/07/2009 22:52

face it - thay are both vile.

How about John?

gigglewitch · 31/07/2009 22:52

Neither.

Tortoise · 31/07/2009 22:51

Barnaby is good, don't like Barnabas or Damon

janeite · 31/07/2009 22:51

Yum to Damon from Blur - but as seen at Glasto this year, he sadly doesn't look like that anymore.

I have taught a couple of Damons and they have tended towards the 'loveable rogue' side of the class. Also (and I see this as a good thing when surrounded by pupils who like R&B!) towards the alternative music side.

19fran76 · 31/07/2009 22:49

Barnabas rules o.k.

19fran76 · 31/07/2009 22:48

Your Damon examples did not entice me for a second but the god-fearing bear raised a chuckle

pointydog · 31/07/2009 22:24

I've always found this damon pretty cool too.

Well, a bit cooler than barnabas
