Barney or Barnaby for a boy?
DP is completely set on it
I’ve got absolutely nothing that I particularly like
Daughter thinks it’s awful 😂

My cousin has a Barnaby nn Barney. And an Edward nn Teddy.
I have to say my childhood rabbit was Barney!

I prefer Barnabas, but I think Barnaby will be liked more.

Also prefer barnabas, but barnaby of the two.

Barney. I'm not overly gone on it, but Barnaby is OTT and too fussy imo. You could just call him Barnaby and use Barney as a nickname.
MN will probably like Barnaby.

Not really to my taste tbh - but if I had to choose out of the two, I would go for Barney. I do think that your DP should be prepared to compromise though if you are not loving it.

I prefer Barnaby

I’m not totally against it but I’ve literally got no alternatives to even suggest?! 🤦‍♀️
I honestly can’t find a boys name that “grabs” me, absolutely nothing!!
And I’m due in two weeks so the pressure is on 😂

I like Barnaby with Barney as a nickname. Although I do think of the big dinosaur named Barney lol or Barney from How I met your mother.

Barnaby or Barnabas is fine. Your daughter does not get to decide.
