How I Met Your Mother Quiz: Who Gave Barney Stinson These Nicknames?

There's perhaps no character in TV sitcom history, and certainly not in How I Met Your Mother, who has been given more nicknames than the man, the myth, the legend that is Barney Stinson.

Now to be fair, Barney is himself responsible for many of his own Barn-tastic nicknames, but his pals have also come up with their own share of pet names for their suited-up friend.

And so, over the course of How I Met Your Mother's nine seasons and 200+ episodes, can you recall who first bestowed these nicknames upon Barney? Was it one of his four main friends, a member of the wider supporting cast, a one-off character, or even Barney himself?

Only the most committed, die-hard Barney fans will have a chance of getting anywhere close to 100% on this quiz, especially with some of the sneaky misdirects and red herrings we've included among the possible answers.

And so, be sure to double-check your answers before moving on.

But fear not no matter how you do, because the answers are at the end as ever. Good luck!
