Would probably shorten Barnabas to Barney.

Opinions please

Love Barnabas, a cool name. Do not like Damon.

Neither. Damon reminds me of the omen, barney is a purple dinosaur. Desmond I don't like either, doesn't suit a baby/child imo.

Damon deff. I really quite like Damon.

Barnabas is no name for a man.

Barnabas definately - i really dont like Damon.
love Desmond though - it is one of my favs but dh wont allow it - Desmond instead of Damon????
If not, I prefer Barnabas.

I like Damon over Barnabas

I knew a guy called Damon and he was lovely, so that's probably why and Barney makes me think of the bear.

Just for moment when I read the title of the thread I thought it said Bananas or Damsons and I really couldn't think why someone would wnat to call their child that.

Neither.
Damon sounds like Damien or demon.
Barnabas sounds like a fattish bear.
