Aww I love Bertram "Bertie". Nicknames as first names are so popular at the moment, so it's nice to see a cute nickname paired with a suitable and handsome full name.

It's good to see a bunch of Barnabys! And Benjamin Peter Richard is really handsome. Lucky lad.

Is Barnaby becoming trendy in the UK? It's really surprising to me, I just have such a hard time imagining a little Barnaby / Barney.

Aside from Brody and Brooklyn, I'm really impressed with the other first names. And I love some of the sibling names, too, especially Martha and Matilde.

I only know two Barnabys, and they're both my age (20). I have yet to meet a young Barnaby and it's not in the top names as far as I know. I don't think it's particularly popular.

Barney Gerald calls to mind a humble English policeman, which thoroughly delights me. I'm also fond of Barnaby Edward Robert, Claudia, Martha, Matilde (prefer Mathilde), Verity, and Bertram "Bertie."

They weren't mentioned in the announcement. Sometimes just a last name is included or grandparents might put a BA in the newspapers.

I'm just hoping they have parents, otherwise the British users here will go "Ooh! Chav!" like they always do.
