Barnaby

[WinkyWinkola]

What do you reckon?

Love it but dp laughed his socks off when I suggested it.

Like Barnaby Bear? Sorry. I think its nice really its just when there is a character on tele it's difficult not to think of them?.

I think it's really sweet

go for it!

and IME people will only think of TV characters etc before the baby is born - after that they will think of your baby

I don't know Barnaby Bear.

don't like it at all

We're Barnaby and Becky, off to see the world......

I actually agree with Greensleeves. My friends little boy is Milo and I have stopped thinking of the tweenies.

I do like Barnaby and Becky though.

We wish, we wish we were a fish!

i could never have sex with a barnaby.

consider his future potential pulling power.

It's the best boys name in the world! Warm and friendly with an artistic feel imo. Love the fact that Barnabas from the bible is known as the encourager.
My friends love our B's name and insists on using his name in full. Did have a four year old say "like Barnaby bear", he looked very impressed! Although I have yet to meet another one there were two in the local beautiful baby comp and another one announced in church.

I love it. Barns/Barney are cool nicknames as well

I do really like it, but it's just a bit too self-consciously urban chic. It works in enclaves of London!!! I prefer Gregory. It's less bear and more sport... I really like Zachary too, but that's a bit popular. I love names that end in y though. Jacoby? Is that a name?!

I'm a girl and he's a bear,
together we make a perfect pair
it's becky and barnaby bear

Becky must be about 22 by now! that programme is so old!

Becky is in Hollyoaks now!

I love the name too, but dh vetoed it for ds2

"Barnaby the bear's my name, never call me Jack or James, I will sing my way to fame, Barnaby the bear's my name"

Love it. Fabulous name!!

lol that's what i sing when i hear it. but y'know, ancient bear programmes aside it is kindova cute name.

Becky's in hollyoaks is she?!! nice to see a child actress not disappearing forever.

link??

IF you can call rambling 'round chester zoo with barnaby bear 'acting' lol.

Gregory is lovely too.

Chief Inspector Barnaby....

I really like this one too, but am struggling to sell it to DH. I think of blond Barnaby from Susan Cooper's 'The Dark is Rising', and Barnaby of Margaret Mahy's 'The Haunting' - I don't know Barnaby the Bear!
