If you have a Barnaby or know one...

[Namemybaby]

What are his brothers called?

Does he go by a nickname, or always Barnaby?

What other boys names were on your list?

Love this name but looking for other options...

I know a lovely one. His brothers are called Tobias and Sam.

Oh sorry - and he’s always known as Barney!

I've got a Barnaby...but unless he is very naughty he is known as Barney. Fab name as he was growing up, and still is! (He's a young adult now). Other names I liked when I was young and fertile were Sebastian, Angus, Rupert, Edward, Stanley, Ferdinand, Samson, Benedict, Horatio. Unsurprisingly DH vetoed all but one of these for DS2.

I know one with brothers Nathaniel and Tobias. Quite often Barney, most often Barnes.

He doesn't have a brother but is usually called Barns.

I know a Barnaby (never shortened) who has a brother called Edgar.

Barnaby nn Barney with db Edward nn Teddy.

I know a Barnaby with a brother Rupert.

No shortening of either of them.

In our area (economically depressed) it takes a certain amount of self confidence to carry it off but they certainyl do and with style.

I know a Barnaby . Not shortened and he’s an adult now.

Brother is called Joseph

Other ideas if you like a longer style name how about:

Christopher /Kit
Sidney /Sid
Wilfred /Wilf
Rafferty /Raffy
Nathan/ Nathaniel - Nate
Chester
Dexter
Dominic
Cole?

I love Barnaby by the way

Young adult Barney with elder brother Alfie. Lovely name(s).

My favourite boys name...I had two girls so never got to use it 🤷‍♀️

I've only known one...little lovely in my Year 2 class 3 years ago. He had two brothers, Freddie and Kit (I think short for Christopher, but I only ever heard him called Kit).

I know a 14 year old Barnaby. He goes by Barnaby or Barnes, never Barney

He has brothers called Scott and Noah

My parents late cat was Barnaby a lovely ginger Tom. But for a child still a lovely name,

So intrigued which name you picked for DS2 @ProperVexed !! I guess Sebastian? Edward?

Thank you for your responses!

Other names I like but can't use are...

Rafferty
Chester
Jasper
Toby
Casper
