Barney or Teddy  - Teddy. Barney reminds me of the big purple dinosaur.
Donovan or Harrison - Harrison. Can shorten it to Harri/Harry. Don/Donny sounds too much 80’s mafia.
David or Michael - Michael. David is too “middle aged” for a baby/child.
Jace or Orson - Orson. Love the band Orson and Jace sounds too American.
Flynn or Everest - Flynn. It is not a mountain.
Wilder or Griffith - This was the hardest one. Neither 😂

Barney- Teddy is over done. Edward is nicer
Donovan- only because it’s less used. Dislike both options tbh
David- also dislike both
Orson- great name. Love the Orson Wells reference
Flynn- quite a handsome name but not really my style. Works through all ages
Griffith- prefer Griffin tbh.

Teddy because there's only one Barney
Harrison because Donovan is dated
Michael because it was my dads name
Jace because it has a nicer sound
Flynn because Everest is a mountain
Wilder because it reminds me of Gene Wilder

Barney
Donovan (Sounds cool!)
David (But both names are very nice)
Orson
Flynn or Everest (Tie)
Griffith (Griffith is a handsome name, and I am not very familiar with the name Wilder.)

Teddy - if short for Edward
Harrison - can shorten to Harry
David - a classic
Jace or Orson - not keen on either
Flynn - cool and handsome
Griffith - love Griff for short

Barney or Teddy - Barney because too many Teddys.
Donovan or Harrison - Donovan because you may as well try and catch the wind
David or Michael - David. Just a nicer sound.
Jace or Orson - neither
Flynn or Everest - Flynn because Johnny Flynn and also because it's not a mountain as pp said
Wilder or Griffith - Griffith. Wilder sounds a bit try-hard
