Barnaby

[SweeetCaroline]

Thoughts on this name please thanks

Oh... Rupert is nice. Patrick as well. But my most prominent Patrick association is a man (named Patrick) who happens to be a coked up (or nowadays more likely to be some sort of designer drug) arse...

so, probably not the name for us. 😅

I like it. Barnabas?

Like it but can't get past the bear

I prefer Barney

Barnaby Bear!

I'm afraid I know too many dogs with this name for it to work for me, but it's a lovely name and if you don't have the same connotations then go for it

I really like it. But as a word of warning my neighbour thought there would be no others and there's three in his year at school. I say that as a parent of an Alexander though.

@commanderdalgliesh 3 in a school is possible but highly unlikely if you look at the official ONS stats.
Barnaby is outside the top 250 names and is on a downward trajectory. Has been outside the top 250 for the past 20 years.
0.03 % of babies are called Barnaby

It’s funny when you get these clusters of unusual names- there’s two “Fox”s at our nursery but it’s still a very rare name (Fox is on an upward trajectory mind you, unlike Barnaby)

No this is Barnaby the Bear.

Love it. I know a 12 year old Barnaby, mostly goes by Barnaby, occasionally Barnes. Very lovely and motivated young man

It's a brilliant name. Please don't use it and make it all popular 😀

I don’t think any of the current generation will have any idea about this Barnaby bear. I even don’t and I’m in my 30s 🙋‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Lovely name!!

Love it
I'd call him Bee for short 😍

Bear. I really don’t like it. It sounds like a comedy name to me.

I really like it.

Barnaby the bears my name!!But don't worry, that was a 1970's kids program that i remember fondly.

I really like it, although less keen on Barney- that's a dogs name :)

Not keen sorry. The Barnaby I know has changed his name for work.

Why would a Barnaby change his name for work? Hahahaha I’m actually LOLing now (sorry hate that expression but I genuinely did laugh out loud). In what world or job is Barnaby going to be an inappropriate name for work? I can understand maybe he just didn’t like his name but to say he has to change it “for work” .... really?! @Eyewhisker

(Hope this doesn’t come across as rude. I’m just intrigued!)

Once met a really hot guy called Barnaby, he was also lovely! Likes the name ever since!
