I like Oliver, dh likes Cameron, we both like Barnaby. Except is it too posh (we live in grotty part of a city and we'll send him to local comp and is it silly on an adult? I tried doing the Prime Minister and plumber test and I think a PM called Barnaby is fine but it sounds silly for a plumber.

Oh I love it!

I desperately wanted this baby to be a Barnaby and was catagorically told No by all I mentioned it too

(and baby is a girl now anyway!)

I like it. I know someone with a Barnaby and my initial thoughts were and 'bit poncey'.

But it has really really grown on me. I like your other choices as well.

I have to admit my DH wasnt keen on the name to start with but after I gave birth and DS was BIG just over 11lb, DH said I should call him whatever I wanted
