Barney?

[RosieLemonade]

Thoughts?

Wait for it - legendary.
I'm honestly surprised that nobody else seems to associate it with Barney Stinson from How I met your mother.
To the name itself, I think it's fine :)

Barney Rubble. Barney the dinosaur. Barney the argument. Just no, OP.

Makes me think of Bushes dog and the famous purple dinosaur

One of my favourite names
Love it

It’s cute!

Barney is quite cute but Barnabas is extraordinarily ugly.

A bit too "out there" for me

If you call him at the park you’ll find dogs come running!

I love it. It's a sweet, warm name. Was on my list.

I know this is an old post... but who do some people think they are.. Jesus! I liked this. Site then come across this post.most names are dogs names... max, Jackson, Ben and so on! Turning your nose up and the comments, good grief. Give your heads a wobble

I'm not a fan but if you like it then go for it op. No one will love every name so go with your heart. Before covid kicked in we knew 3 Barneys/Barnabys from various playgroups/baby clubs.

No, what's with wanting to name baby boys like teddy bears?!

I'd think you were a darts fan. Could have siblings called Rapid, Rocky, The Ferret, The Aubergenius and The Bronzed Adonis...

Lovely big old english sheep dog

Love it, can't imagine a grumpy Barney. I know a young and older Barney, works for both. Don't think it needs a longer version. There's connections to every name and you could go a lot worse than dogs and a friendly dinosaur, neither which I think are connections in real life.

I actually think it's cute.

I actually like it too. I'm actually surprised by all the negative comments.

I have a toddler Barney, he is Barnaby on his BC..he suits his name, is very outgoing and most of the time thinks he's a dinosaur 😆
I have never had a weird comment about his name..go for it

God no

This post is a year old

Unless you have a “traditional” name most people on here will dislike it and make ridiculous comments. In real life you don’t get the ridiculousness. I like Barney, actually know of a little boy called Barney and has absolutely no issues. He got shown Barney the dinosaur and thinks it’s amazing to have the same name as a dinosaur.

@Mummyx100 You've woken a zombie thread 🧟‍♀️

my dog

@EddietheEagle I know 😂I was just in disbelief people actually can sit at home And write negative comments about a NAME but would they do it on person ? Of course not.
You can have any name and it sounds like something els, characters of a show, rhymes with other words that could be said by children, too old, too out their, too common and for gods sake the dog thing. People who have a dog first normally treat it like a baby and give it well known name. I have a hamster called "Theo" named by my 4 year old. I'm not gonna warn anyone I know not to call A baby Theo because it's now a Hamster name.

I must be to young because I've never heard of a teddy called Barney
