This name is very beautiful. It often gets shortened to Barb or Barbie unfortunately.

That is my name. The meaning fits to a T - I have always felt like a stranger in a strange land. A foreigner. Don't care for Babs or Barb. However, have become very strong and I think some of that is the name.
Hate this name!

Let me tell about my name Barbara love it especially when my step father gave it to me when I was born it's always been special to me and will not change it for any other ugly name out there like most people do no offence to any one but when you give some one a name at birth it just suppose to be something beautiful in lifetime.
