I love how Barbara means "not Greek" it is hilarious to me, it's like naming someone Gentile. Of course that association is ancient. I like it for the reasons you state - helped along by a beautiful young Barbara with Renaissance curls I met in a school program.

Vivian Barbara is the combo that sits in my head all day...

I've never really played with it because my appreciation doesn't extend into love. As Balthazar, I feel it's easier as a middle name... B names seem like furniture for the forenames to sit on. None of your combos are quite convincing me otherwise, maybe Celandine. And maybe Sieglinde ooh.

I sort of feel like it needs a modest shorter middle name for it to work. Barbara Mary, Barbara Wren, Barbara Rose... Barbara Phoebe maybe. Meh. Barbara Hera that's fun.
