Help[Opinions] Re: Balthazar, Barnaby, Beowulf
in reply to a message by Billina
Balthazar is out. And so would Belshazzar have been. Just getting your name in someone else's religious text is no reason for it to be used, umpteen centuries later. It needs charm, modernity and a good story, at least!
Beowulf has the charm and the story; not sure about modernity, but a Bee + Wolf combo does suggest genetic modification! I'd enjoy seeing it used as a mn, but I'm afraid it would prove a burden to its owner.
Barnaby, I can endorse with no qualms. So much neater and tidier than Barnabas, and Barny or preferably Barney would be a perfectly OK nickname. I'd consider Barnaby myself IRL, given enough sons.
