Help[Opinions] Bartholomew
For no apparent reason I always used to dislike it, but the last few months I've been coming around on it more. I think it is rather handsome and dashing, and makes me think of brown tweed and old books. What are your feelings or impressions of it?
I think my favorite nickname for it is Tolly. I think Bart is too tied to Bart Simpson. I also have heard Barley, which I don't really like. What is your favorite nickname for it?
Do you like any of these combos? Feel free to suggest some of your own if you feel so inclined, too.

I love Bartholomew. He's so long and gangly. "Tweedy" is just the right word for Bartholomew. I still like the nn Bart, but I can understand the whole Simpson thing being a drag on it. Happily, Tolly is the perfect substitute nn.
You've gotten so many great combos. I'll just add my stock: Bartholomew Knox.

I've been slowly warming up to Bartholomew, though I've not tried pairing him. Hadn't considered Tolly as a nickname...definitely increases his interest. From your list, I quite like Bartholomew Henry and Bartholomew Norman. Other ideas:
Bartholomew Pierce
Bartholomew Reid
Bartholomew Fox

I just can't get into Bartholomew for some reason, I think it's just too much name for me. Bart is too Bart Simpson and Tolly doesn't do it for me either (it's like a mix of Tilly and trolley).
I do like Bartol and Bartolomej. Bartolo is also nice.

Bartholomew was once my favorite boy name. I still like it a lot. I agree with you about it being handsome and dashing. Tolly is probably the best nn for it. The best combos you listed for it are:
Bartolomew Christian
Bartholomew Errol
Bartholomew Ira

Tolly is the ONLY nickname! Hey, I'd forgotten about it. It moves Bartholomew out of the "groan" category, into the "usable." I was thinking it'd have to be Bart or nothing (I actually saw a mention of "Mewmew" as a possible nickname. Barf?).
The elbow-patched tweedy pipe-smokin' 19th century image I have is a little strong for my stomach, but yeah, there's more to the name than just that I suppose.
I like the combos with Christian, Errol, and Henry.

Mewmew? Even on a tiny baby... barfarama.

I love Bartholomew, and I think Tolly is an absolutely delightful nickname. As for the combos, Bartholomew Francis, Bartholomew Franz, Bartholomew Henry, and Bartholomew Tavish leap out at me.

I have the same impressions of Bartholomew as you do, although the name also reminds me of priests and monks for some reason.
I think Tolly is by far the cutest and best nickname for it. I really hate Bart or Barty.
Out of your combos, I particularly like
Bartholomew Errol
Bartholomew Gethin
Bartholomew Tavish
