Comments and insights on the name Bartholomew

My boyfriends name is Bartholomew, everyone calls him Bart. He is actually Bartholomew II. He wants to name a son Bartholomew III, but I am not into going farther than II, it gets confusing. I would also want my child to have his own name, but that's just my opinion.

My names Emily.
And my dad and step mum have a 3 year old son which is in my blood line, who is my half brother.
I was so happy and excited about the birth, and i'd always loved names. It's strange. I'd make lists and lists of names i liked.
So they left it up to me to name him. With the condition it was Resonable.
