Well, I don't mind that it's a little dated. Some people think other names of that time that I like are a little dated, such as Cynthia, Deborah, Susan and Brenda, but I think that it's sort of sad that those names become attached to one time period, since those are great names.

However, even if Barbara wasn't dated, I still wouldn't like it because I hate the harsh sound of Barb. It makes me think of barbed wire, not an appealing image.
