Dp has mentioned that he likes this. I'm not sure.
Opinions would be helpful.

If you have a girl will you call her Becky?

I don't like it, sorry.

barnaby's a great name, I know of a cute little boy with the name, normally shortened to 'barney'.

I have a Barnaby. In terms of nicknames he gets Barnes, or Barnaboy, but not yet Barney, which I don't like so much.

And yes, I do sometimes call him Barnaby Bear ...

Don't like it. Sorry.

I love it - was on list for DS but I was overruled.

PuppyMonkey · 18/08/2008 13:10

Eeeek. No.

Themasterandmargaritas · 18/08/2008 17:59

We too have a Barnaby! He refuses to be called anything else than full on Barnaby, and frankly neither me nor any of my friends (bar one) has ever heard of Barnaby bear nor ever mentioned it.

MrsMattie · 18/08/2008 18:00

No.

EffiePerine · 18/08/2008 18:04

I'd go for barnabas

LaDiDaDi · 18/08/2008 18:08

I think it's great.

ethanchristopher · 18/08/2008 18:11

Slubberdegullion · 18/08/2008 18:12

My first true love was a Barnaby. Everyone called him Barnes. I like it.

TheOldestCat · 18/08/2008 19:54

My friend's DH is Barnaby. It's a fantastic name!

nancy75 · 18/08/2008 19:55

my best friend is called barnaby, i love the name.

ranting · 18/08/2008 19:56

My mate has a Barnaby and he's always been called Barney, wouldn't have been a name I'd have chosen but I quite like it, mainly because the Barney we know is a sweetie.

PootyApplewater · 18/08/2008 19:57

Love it!

jellybeans · 20/08/2008 13:11

I really don't like it, sorry.

JessJess3908 · 28/08/2008 12:29

It's lovely

frazzledoldbag34 · 28/08/2008 13:01

I love it.
But then I used to have a car called Barnaby.
I'd use it for a boy but my DH wouldn't let me......
