HELP!

[Lun27]

Finley or Barnaby?

My 3 week old needs a name. Brother is Fred. Open to other options too!

Barnaby. Having different initials will be helpful as they get older.

Barnaby

Ralph
Magnus

Barnaby.

Finley and Fred sounds like a childrens TV show.

Barnaby

Barnaby. Congratulations x

I much prefer Finley as an individual name. Barnaby isn't my style at all.

Normally I would advise different initials regardless of own personal opinion of the names. However, you can't have a Fred and Barnaby as he will inevitably become Barney.

Flintstones, meet the Flintstones...

Sorry

Finley is lovely and, despite the same initials, Fred and Finley/Fin sound fine together to my ears.

All great names but I would avoid having 2 starting with the same initial. I prefer Barnaby anyway, but Fred and Barney is too Flintstone for me, sorry!

But if Barnaby gets shortened to Barney then the OPs family become The Flintstones

Finley is a lovely name. But the F initial is the same as your other son so I would avoid that.

Barnaby is a bears name.

What about Miles or Jago?

Fred and Barnaby.

Others I like:

Fred and Avery
Fred and Cosmo
Fred and Miles
Fred and Weston
Fred and Rupert
Fred and Maurice
Fred and Christopher
Fred and Quentin
Fred and Peter

Not Fred and Barn(ab)y. Too Flintstones. If Finley is your other choice then go with that.

Dean

Fred and Finley or Fred and Fin is too many F’s for me! I like Barnaby but immediately thought of the Flintstones!
fred and Oscar
Fred and Ottis
Fred and Albert / Bertie
Fred and Stanley / Stan
Fred and Sidney
Fred and Hector
Fred and Henry

Finley. Barnaby is awful (and yes, the flintstones)

Prefer Finley but Barnaby to avoid same initials

Too many Finlays

I don’t mind the Flintstones ref

Otherwise

Arnold / Arnie
Ernest / Ernie
Laurence / Laurie
Tobias / Toby - or just Toby
James / Jim
Zachary / Zach

Fred and Barney definitely

Barnaby or Brady

Finley

Finley

Barnaby is lovely

Or Rupert or Hugo.

Finley
I'm not a fan of either names but Barnaby is particularly dreadful

I don't like either but by a small margin I prefer Finley

You can't have a Fred and a Barney
