HelpI live near a St. Barnabas church :)
in reply to a message by Llewella
I really like the name Barnabas. I was in quite the Barnaby phase for a long time, but I think Barnabas is also excellent. It's a little bit fustier, a bit more serious, less sleek than Barnaby. I agree on its down-to-earth nature (the barn beginning no doubt indeed). It makes me think of a rotund monk in worn woolen robes.
As for a non-Barney nickname, hmm, that's a tough one. Nab maybe? Arnie! Barn?
combos, well, Barnabas Paul came to me right away, that's a bit conservative but in a nice way. I really want to pair it with something short yet serious.
Barnabas Henry
Barnabas Jude
Barnabas Friar
Barnabas Jack
Barnabas John
Barnabas Clark
Barnabas Franklin
Barnabas Hugo / Barnabas Hugh
Barnabas Leo

Nab is good! And Arnie, maybe, I'd actually thought of that earlier. I could get used to it if it would stop making me think of What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
Barnabas Paul and Barnabas Henry are perfect. I wanted to ask others to make combos because I knew I'd like Barnabas best with names of that sort, and was wondering if something more offbeat might pop up!
Barnabas Friar - awesome, and not too overpoweringly monk-like since I didn't get the monk image first off :)
Barnabas John - like a lot. I know John is plain, but I'm a sucker for it as a mn.
Barnabas Clark - This is kind of interesting. Sounds like the name of some sort of trickster pilot.
Barnabas Leo - I think I like this. Barnabas feels really mature and is warm colored, and Leo feels youthful and is cool colored, and so I like the juxtaposition.
