HelpBarnaby
Lately I'm loving the name Barnaby. I've always had a bit of a thing for 4 syllables and a Y ending (Bethany, Tiffany, Diggory ... you get the idea) but I've steered clear of Barnaby for one main reason.
I hate names that are too tied up with class. I avoid Rupert, Julian, Ralph "Rafe", Arabella like the plague. In Britain anyway, these are still public-schoolboy, home-counties, "toff" names which is as damning as "trashy" if like me and most people, you don't fit into either category. I suppose I need Britons to tell me whether Barnaby is workable for someone in-between ... And just opinions on Barnaby from everybody else! Thank you in advance :-)
