Help[Opinions] Re: Barnabas
in reply to a message by Mareasi
I'm mad for Barnaby, so Barnabas gets to ride on his coattails into my heart. Barnabas has a quirky charm but still demands respect. That's a tough balancing act but he does it well.
Barney is certainly the obvious nn. If you truly hate it then I would reluctantly advise you to find another name. You can't control what your little Barnabas wants to be called when he's older.
But if you don't mind Barney that much and are willing to take a gamble, then I can see you using Barnabas and using a more creative nn like Barnaby, Arnie or, um, Bear, say. ;-)
