HelpRe: Barnabas
in reply to a message by Mareasi
Definitely avoidable in my opinion but then I believe that no name is destined to be shorented to a certain nickname, not even Alexander nn Alex.
I'm not a fan of Barney. Personally, I would probably use Bas.

Does Bas rhyme with ass or ace?

Hmm...when you put it like that, Bas doesn't seem like such a great nickname. I guess it would rhyme with ass. Unless you pronounce the A like the A in apple or America. I would probably go with that pronunciation, actually. Just to avoid the whole Bas-ass thing.

Isn't the a in apple/America the same as in ass? Now I'm really confused. :) And, by the way, I wasn't saying is wasn't a good nickname...

I think I'm confusing myself too. I just remembered an old discussion we had about Astrid and how Astrid wasn't pronounced like Ass-trid. Instead the A was pronounced like the A in apple/America. They do sound different in my head but when I say it out loud it's almost the same.
