Re: Barnabas
in reply to a message by Mareasi
I love Barnaby, but for some inexplicable reason Barnabas just doesn't do it for me the way that Barnaby does. It makes absolutely no sense, but there it is. Barnabas isn't bad, though, and I would be happy to see a young Barnabas.
I think it would be very hard to avoid having it shortened to Barney (same with Barnaby), and I agree that I'm not especially fond of Barney. I'll be watching this thread to see if anyone can think of a good alternative nickname that could stave off Barney, because I've been trying and I haven't come up with one yet.
EDIT: What about Baz, like is sometimes used for Basil or Sebastian?
