I love
Barbara (but don't like the English pronunciation) and plan to use it for my first daughter to honor my grandmother.
It's not dated here and it was never very popular (I know only two, both about 30).
Bara and
Barica are dated and were very popular in my grandmother's generation (1920s/30s).
*since people always ask, you can here the pronunciation in Croatian here:
