I don't know any Barbaras and have never met any. The only vague associations I have with it are Barbara Castlemaine, Charles II's mistress, and the colour gold. So I think of magnificent barbaric powerful shiny ladies with red hair, wearing cloth of gold, and I quite like the name.

Barbie and Babs, though? Puketastic. That would definitely have put me off using it when they were popular. Someone suggested Bara as an nn - might have been Sofia - much nicer.
