HelpRe: Barney
in reply to a message by Perrine
I named my second son Barnabas. And no, I don't think of the Flintstones or a dinosaur every time I see him ;-) I'm not very familiar with Barney the dinosaur, because I'm not American, but I've seen images of him.
We try to avoid the nickname Barney because I don't like it very much, but I also don't hate it. For now we use his middle name, Húni, as a nickname. That's more of a family nickname though, not something we'd like everyone to call him. When other people are around, people who aren't family or close friends, he goes by his full first name. If one day our son decides he wants to go by Barney, then that's what I'll call him. It's kind of cute.
