Re: Barney?
in reply to a message by Lily8
I think teasing could certainly take place, especially since the show is quite popular. The whole "I love you, you love me..." song could certainly ruin a kid's elementary years (or even older if he was one to be picked on a lot). However, I knew a lot of kids that had names/nns that are thought of as easy teasing names (such as BJ) and they never had problems. It's a risk you take, and I think too many people are too worried about it. If your child is going to be picked on, he/she will be picked on regardless of his/her name.It doesn't make me think of barn. It actually makes me think Big Daddy (name of the bar and where they go shopping for suits). I'm not a fan, but think it might work better as a nn for one of the full name options.
