Re: Barbie?!
in reply to a message by Makenna
I can't see naming a child Barbie. The doll is too well-known, and I think that the doll has given the name an "airhead" image, despite Mattel's later efforts to correct it.
Besides, it's too nicknamey on its own. It should be a nickname for Barbara, and Barbara is one name I really despise.
