Re: Barnabas and Barnaby?
in reply to a message by Array
I have to agree with Array on most points.
I don't live in America or England, but in Germany Barney the dinosaur and Barney from the Simpsons are both well known. I'm not really a fan of Barnabas myself and like Array I prefer Barnaby, a name I really like as a matter of fact.
Barnabas just sounds so big for a child or even an average person. Barnaby, however, I can see on a child but also on an adult.
As a nn, what about Barn, Nab, Aby, Arn or Barney, if you want.
