Baby names yet again! What do you think of

[cupcakesgalore]

Barnaby (Barney) or Benedict
Elizabeth (Beth) or Charlotte (Lottie)
These are the only names DH and I can find common ground on. My sil thought Barney was like a black lab's name but I really like it.

elizabeth/charlotte, classic names, can't go wrong. barnaby/barney terrible no no no. benedict loverly

[theprecious]

only thing about Benedict - would the ds get teased at school - dicked?

[gegs73]

Barney poncey puffy and crap LOL. The one I know is sooo not what you would imagine and is quite the cockney geezer.

Love Benedict, it is on our shortlist. We would shorten it to Ned.

my sister's name is charlotte but we (her v small brother & sister) shortened it to chach when she was born (pronounced "shush") which has stuck and we're nearly 30 now!!
I know 2 grown up barney's - think it's a lovely name.

[saggers]

I like Benedict shortened to Ben, and like Lottie.

When you're thinking of names, you might think "oh, we can't use Barney, it's a dinosaur"...but once your child is born, it won't be relevant any more. His personality will take over and he will just be Barney.

I know a Barnaby and it's a lovely name.

My DS is called Barnaby (Barney/Barnes) and it's lovely!It suits the child at all ages into adulthood and can be cute at the baby stage,cool in the teenage years, sexy when he's an adult and distinguished when he gets even older.

We chose the name whilst I was pregnant and had lots of laughs about purple dinosaurs and almost changed it to Benjamin but then we just thought, who cares what everyone else thinks and went with Barnaby George and he couldn't be any other name now - it really suits him.

My friend's little boy is called Benedict but they mostly call him Ben I think.

I love Elizabeth and Barney would have been called Molly Elizabeth if he'd been a girl.

Barney is fine. Not keen on Benedict though.

I like both Elizabeth (Beth) or Charlotte (Lottie). Actually don't know any young children with either name.

[hana]

don't like either boy's names
I lik eCharlotte

[belgo]

Like them all except for Barney

Thanks everyone for the input! I don't know any Charlottes or Elizabeths either. Ds is a Samu and the only one in his year group, which is suprising given it's in the top 10 consistently. I guess we'll have to see what baby looks like before choosing!
