Barnaby Joyce causes me 11th hour name uncertainty!

[YoYo]

Ha! I love the word 'poncy'! It's so english!

I'm still into Darcy....dont' think it's 'poncy' at all.....In my family it's quite 'broody'.....

As in Colin Firth as Mr Darcy....

[Pandora]

Rupert
Gerard

Yeah mmm Mr Darcy...

But would you want to name your son after someone you want to go back in time to shag? Kinda steals the Mr Darcy magic

Rupert is nice Although could easily be considered poncy in some circles lol

I wouldn't worry about it. My parents held off calling me a name because it was the same as a TV character. Now, if I use it, nobody's heard of her. Politicians are very often the same. He's not heading for Prime Ministerial duties, and even if he is, whatever. Kevins don't get teased for having the same name as the PM, and, to be honest, the name Whitlam is on our list because of a politician.

I would LOVE for you to use the name Barnaby. Particularly Barnaby Roy as a combination. Because, with our surname, his initials would be BRA. So it is not currently on the list

[nickers]

i say if you like Barnaby stick with it!
my son's name is Nixon and in america its actually not so popular cause of Richard Nixon but i never associate him with my son!

[Rowellen]

How about getting a new last name?
Your DP would only have to get new a drivers license, passport, bank accounts, medicare card .........

Sorry, not helping...

[AliB]

Rowellen that's a great idea! He could change his name to my surname, which is actually my XH's surname from when I was married! (I've not changed it after the divorce). Then we could all be one big happy family!! LOL

OK that was sarcastic, sorry Very funny, honey!

Nickers, Nixon is nice! Now you've got me thinking about that option!

Snugglybean, I can the see problem with naming your son BRA, sorry it's not an option for you!

I think Kevins would get teased no matter who's PM actually!

As for all your Mr Darcy droolers, well Colin Firth is a very attractive man, I think that's why DP was on the Poncy bandwagon - he can't have his son's namesake being better looking than Daddy!!!

Barnaby ROCKS!

[Jas]

How about Spencer?

[AliB]

Thanks all for your advice last month...

We called him Barnaby!

It gets mixed reactions... the inlaws aren't so sure but most people seem to think it's a lovely name! He is getting Barnaby, Barney and Banana so far.

[Ginger]
