Re: Barney
in reply to a message by Perrine
I love Barney!
I honestly don't think it needs to be a nickname, it has enough history as a name-name to stand on its own, but I do like Barnaby. If I had a Barney, he'd just be Barney, but Barnaby and Barnabas would be the nicknames! Flip it around.
I sort of think of the Flintstones, but never the dinosaur. I think maybe because Barney was a bit "after" my time. I babysat lots of Barney-watchers but never saw much myself. I think I was juuuust out of the demographic when the dinosaur became a thing. I don't really care about the dinosaur, although dinosaurs in general are a good thing!
