[Opinions] Re: Barbara
in reply to a message by )(
I like Barbara, though my daughter giggles whenever I mention it. The nicknames are a drawback, but I know a couple of Barbara people who go by the full form and nobody minds. Barbara, Deborah, Eleanor, Jennifer ...good vintage names.Barbie of course is hopelessly plastic-doll. Babs isn't bad; certainly better than Debs. I know a Barbara who used to go by Bibi, but gave it up. Ba or Bah is about the best, but I don't find a nn necessary. Maybe back in the day when there were more than one Barbara in every classroom, but not now.
