Help[Opinions] Re: Barney & Baxter
in reply to a message by bex
I don't like any of them, to be honest (you're right about the 'grandpa' factor), but any would fit with the others, and I think Baxter fits okay. Not as seamlessly as Barnaby or Bernard, perhaps, but just fine in my opinion, especially with Daphne.
Other names to consider:
Benjamin (popular, yes, but not as much as it used to be)
Bennett
Benson/Benton
Benedict/Benedikt
(these ones are nice because he can use Ben, but it's still in line w/ the sibs styles)
Brenton (ditto above, but Brent as nn, or Bren)
Bryant (ditto, but with Bryan)
Barrett
Beckett
Branson (not as typical and modern-sounding as Brandon, but still able to use nickname Bran - game of thrones popularity won't hurt - or if no nickname needed, it's not too long)
Bridger (really different, but could be very cool)
Bryce/Brice
Bastian/Sebastian
Gerard
good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions
Benjamin - way too common for our tastes. Ben is very boring to me.
Bennett - Actually like this but can't use it because it's just going to get shortened to Ben :(
Benson/Benton - not as nice as the others.
Benedict/Benedikt - Love Benedict, however two problems.. 1. He would get called Ben 2. Our last name is Arnold!
Brenton - Not a fan
Bryant - same as Brenton
Barrett - It would get shortened to Barry here! :O
Beckett - I actually really like this, though I worry its too trendy sounding. Its a cute nod to my name!
Branson - not bad..
Bridger - too 'rough' sounding for me
Bryce/Brice - I know too many!
Bastian/Sebastian - too popular
Gerard - nice
