Love Bartholomew. I put it in the same category in my mind as
Sebastian,
Cornelius and
Ambrose; long-ish, cool, early
Christian names.
I'm not crazy about the nn
Bart either. But I knew a
Bart before the Simpson character so it doesn't bother me as much. I think it was Array who uses the nn
Tolly, which is nice.
there are so many Nathaniels at the moment. We could use a few more Bartholomews. Go for it. :-)
