HelpRe: Barnabas and Barnaby?
in reply to a message by karene
1. Barney is still on the air, around here at least, and is still considered pretty culturally relevant. You might also want to take into account Barney the drunkard from The Simpsons--because that's a show that is definitely still culturally relevant and has been for well over a decade.
I've never met a Barney IRL. I think that it's a name that could work, but I don't find it especially appealing myself.
I can't help you with stuff across the pond. I can, however, tell you that I'd personally prefer to meet a Barnaby than a Barnabas. Barnabas always reminds me of Barabbas of the Bible--he was the man who was chosen over Jesus to be released from prison.
If you both like Barnabas, though, then hey--that works. I'd want to call him Nabby over Barney, myself. :)

I need the smell of summer--
I need its noises in my ears.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
