I want to call him Barnacle Miller, but I don't think that was the character's given name at birth. Did they ever say if "Barney" was a nickname for anything on the show?

Barnaby, Bernard, Barnabas?

I don't recall them saying what his first name was other than Barney.

On The Andy Griffith Show, Barney was Bernard Fife.

However, I think the "fun girls" from Mt. Pilot always called him "Bernie" in error...! :)

Barney's full name was, Bernard J. Miller.

Barney's full name was, Bernard J. Miller.

I don't recall exactly which episode it was in that he was referred to by his full name, but that indeed is his full name.

Barniferous

I think "Barney" is short for "Bernard."
