HelpRe: Barbara
in reply to a message by queenv
I've never liked it. I used to think it was dated on Barbie the doll. In the seventies, when I was a little kid. I would wonder, why on earth would they give this supposedly young hip cute doll such a square name? Could there even be a clunkier name? So many bad sound associations, no good ones.
Barbarism.
Barber's pole.
Barbed wire.
Bahbahbah, bahbarbraaannn.
Bar-Bra.
Barbecue.
I'm Bawbwa Waltuzz for ABC...
Barf?
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have liked it if I'd been born in 1910, either.
If I try to imagine it in a likeable light, I guess it must have seemed clear and strong and practical and prepared, like Joan, Margaret, or Carol. In 1938 the parent generation had just gotten through the Depression, right? So softness and frills were maybe not their style... I dunno.
