I am a Barbra (given name Barbara) - who legally dropped the "middle a" from the spelling last year to align it with the pronunciation that I prefer; and to further distance it from the "Bar - Bar" root, (as the "Bar - Bar" sound was originally used by intolerants to mock those who could not speak ancient Greek).

I met a lady a few months ago who informed me that her friend had just dropped the "middle a" from her the spelling as well.
