I'm guessing that early on, they never anticipated the usage of him as a main character, so they just nicknamed him 'Barney'. I doubt it was intended to mean that every security guard was to be named this, they just didn't model a bunch of them, for some reason.
But you never did hear him be called 'Barney' until Blue Shift, did you?

Orpheus is right.
Barney is loosely based of Don Knotts's character "Barney Fife" from The Andy Griffith Show. The earliest beta models of Barney were designed to look like him.
Man, Barney's face is like "That's what was fondling me?! - Ant
Looked creepy huh? Wikipedia ftw.

Fun facts FTW! I could probably find something more about it if I just looked through Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar, but I'm too lazy.

Slick, Luther, Glasses and Einstein are their names in Hammer, though some of the scientists' in-game keep referring to another scientist named Walter (in Op4 mainly i think).

It would be nice to have a skin like that though.
