HelpRe: A pitch for my own - and what a Pitch! (Ha Ha Ha)
in reply to a message by Barbra
The original intention "behind the name" sought mockery, and the onomatopoeia exemplifies this
What the hell does that mean?
The name Barbara is much older than Barbara Billingsly, Barbara Walters, and Barbara Bush. This name is a solid classic and not a flimsy, supercilious trend.
I don't recall anyone saying that it isn't older than those three women or that it isn't a classic or that it is a flimsy trend. But we have just as much right to dislike classic, non-trendy names as we do the opposite.
I accept your apology, but I am tired of people getting butt-hurt on this board. That's the fastest way to kill it.
Also, you're not supposed to make a post that doesn't ask a question.
Personally, I hate the name Barbara. One reason for this may be that it was the name of my father's first wife and I resented her existence when I first learned of it and have nurtured a life-long dislike of her. And yes, I know that the name Barbara is older than she was.
