Help[Opinions] Re: Barbara
in reply to a message by Becki
I'm aware of the datedness, but I always think of the twins in the Mary Poppins stories - John and Barbara. So it gives me golden-haired tiny moppet vibes, a world away from old-ladiness.
I think it flat-lined so completely after about the 1950s that it could easily seem new. Unlike Linda and Patricia! And Babs or Bibi could be cute nns.
It needs a punchy mn. Not Barbara-Ann in spite of the Beach Boys, but Barbara Jean, Barbara Jill, Barbara Joy? Barbara Katharine is elegant. Barbara Clare.
