Comments for the name Bartholomew

Bartholomew! There's is this one cartoon about a dog who hated wheels. It's sooooo cute and hilarious and this name reminds me of that dog. Though, I wouldn't name my child this, I still think it's cute!

I had a boyfriend once with the last name of Bartholomew. Because my mom didn't like him much, she would pronounce it (though not to his face) "barf-on-you." I've never been able to get past that and like the name again.

Bartholomew was one of the primary characters in Dean Koontz's book, "From the Corner of His Eye".

(In regards to the Biblical character) I much prefer the name Nathanael. I could never warm up to Bartholomew.

This is the name of the main character of Dr. Seuss's book The Five Hundred Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins, about a little boy on whose head another hat would magically appear whenever he took off one.

The character Bart Simpson on the Simpsons full name is Bartholomew Jojo Simpson.

I would never name my child this, but I think the name is kinda cute.

It is derived from the Aramaic 'bar', meaning "son of" and 'Tholomaios' (Talmai), a personal name.

This was also the name of a brother of Christopher Cloumbus; Bartholomew Columbus.

What a mouthful! Can you imagine a five- or six-year-old trying to learn how to spell this name? Plus he might get the nickname Bart, which sounds horrible. If you wish to give your son a rare name, find something other than Bartholomew.

I think Tolly is a very cute nickname for this - much better than Bart.

Bartholomaios is an ancient greek name which comes from the Aramaic word 'bar', which means 'son' and from the Greek name 'Ptolemaios, altered to somewhat 'Tolemeos'.

PS. Ptolemaios is a Greek name which means the one who is related to 'p(t)olis' (=city). Moreover, it can mean the one who fights for cities, or makes war. 'War' in ancient Greek is 'p(t)olemos'. In modern Greek is 'polemos'. In either case, you can see that wars were about (capturing) cities.

An old nickname, in addition to Bart, was Batt. The surname Bate(s) derives from this nickname and means son of Batt.

According to the article "Spelling Pronunciation" on Wikipedia, the name was once pronounced "BAR-tl-mee." (Their system of indicating pronunciation is somewhat different.)

Bartoloměj is the Czech form and Bartolomej is the Slovak form. Name Day: 24th August.

I personally dislike it; however, I am starting to warm up to it mostly because it is one of those names that nobody would ever attempt to change into a girl's name. Which is a positive because it is so RARE to find a guy's name that those people who has an obsession with turning boys' names into girls' names will never be turned into a girl's name.

LOL! I always thought this name was pronounced: Barth-oh-loh-MEW.

Horrible on a boy/girl. But cute for a cat! I think this is a name for a cat because it has "mew" on the end and mew can be a nickname.

People who happen to share the negative traits of being both religious nuts AND pretentious would go for this ugly, long, foreign-sounding name that will be shortened to Bart, which sounds like fart.

I think this name is cute and I would use it for a middle name.

I always liked the sound of this name but I hate the nickname Bart. Plus its really long. It might make a good name for a cat.

Sir Bartholomew Middleton was the hero of the Bartland Revolution in 1782. According to legend he is an immortal that attained eternal life after drinking a potion in the early 11th century.

Bartholomew Cubbins is also the "alter ego" of Jared Leto.

My history professor brought up the idea that the apostle Bartholomew was so called to identify him as a Hellenized Egyptian; bar Ptolemaios, (son) of Ptolemy, the Egyptian dynasty began by the general Ptolemy after Alexander the Great.

I'm the only one who likes this as a first name? Aww. Might be because one of my favorite characters ever (second one mentioned in the next paragraph comment) bears it.

Anyway, two of the four DC Comics heroes codenamed the Flash - Barry Allen and Bart Allen - have this as a proper first name, though it's rarely mentioned (I'd say a dozen times, total).

Hahaha are you joking? How is this one bit cute?

No, I am not. I wouldn't use it in normal conversation, but as a formal name, I think it sounds nice and rolls off the tongue smoothly.

My mum wanted to call me this if I was a boy but my dad didn't want it because it has too much of a religious connection. I found that slightly funny since my dad loves The Simpsons.

I personally love this name. It sounds so cool! I have no idea why but it reminds me of someone who would be really wild and crazy, but in a fun, not weird, way. I wouldn't use this for a kid because it would sound ridiculous and really antiquated, but I would name a pet this.

This has got to be one of the worst names in the world! I thought it was pronounced BART-HOE-LOW-MOO! Ew. It reminds me of a posh boy who always walks with his chin sticking out.

I personally love this name.It's so strong and royal and leaves an impression a great impression.It's handsome,boyish,mighty and unusual.

I wasn't crazy after it at first,but I started to like it a lot because it's mature and charming.It's absolutely one of the most gorgeous names for a boy.

It beats your Jaydon or Mason.
