[Opinions] Barrett
A facebook friend of mine has Barrett in his facebook name, and it never clicked that it was in tribute to Syd Barrett, even though he'd mentioned his love for the band Pink Floyd, and that he is his hero... I actually asked if it was a middle name and then he was like uh no... but anyway, it got me thinking, could this be pulled off as a name ? It is listed, but would anyone use it ? Any idea's ?

I used to love the idea of Barrett as a name with Bear as a nn (for a boy). That was years before I ever thought of Bear as a screen name here. It goes against my usual dislike for surnames as fns.
Granted I have bears on the brain. But I really think Barrett, nn Bear, could work in the real world . . . which is why I hang out in the virtual world. What do I know? :-P

I actually agree with you on Barrett, nn Bear working... its cute :)
I love Rhett as a nickname!
I think it's a very cute name. Just be careful that is not mistaken for "Barette" - like a girl's hair clip.
