I secretly like Barbara. I couldn't ever use it because it's the name of a persona non grata in the family, but still. It's proud and stoic, yet has a polished elegance, and I think it has potential to rise up a la Eleanor, Audrey, Vivian. It's still dated, but dated names are getting cool again! I like that hipsters are picking dorky dated names before they are "ready" to be resurrected. That's what gives them the magic quirk.

I would say Barbara needs to be out front, except my go-to Barb combo is Ruby Barbara. Maybe Ruby Barbara as a double name! Ruby-Barbara! Wow I like that. I made that combo after looking at fish in a pet store. There's a type of fish called a Ruby Barb and I was like wow, that's a cute name for a fish or a person.

I also love the meaning.

More combos!
