Re: Bartholomew
in reply to a message by Bex
I really like Bartholomew, I think it's very handsome. I really dislike Bart, Simpson's association aside even. I don't like Barth, either. Tolly would be my nickname of choice, but I'm not sure I totally love it. Too bad it's such a long name! It really does need a nickname.
I'd name a brother or sister anything else classic, but probably not both Biblical unless they're so mainstream they don't have that Biblical vibe (like James or Elizabeth). Or more fun, I'd go for the adventurey, outdoorsy vibe of Bartholomew and pick more offbeat things like Wilder or Merritt and Mira or Rowan.
