Re: A pitch for my own - and what a Pitch! (Ha Ha Ha)
Meh, I don't like Barbara and not even the most eloquent post/pitch can change that. There are lots of people who hate my name but I don't care. I assume that they don't hate me, just my name, and that's fine. If you are a male named Barbara/Barbra, that's very interesting. I would like to know why your parents chose that name for you.I've wanted to get a cat named Barbro for quite some time. I think it's an awesome name for a cat and with the possiblity of numerous nicknames, which a cat definitely needs. :)

but she wants to be sure 'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings

I was named after an aunt. The unique nature of having such a name, the sound of which can be so strong that it is offensive; or yet to others--appealing; to have a name so deeply steeped with association of the opposite gender causes confusion in others - as I do not look or act as though I would or even could have such a "girlish" name. It is a blessing, however. No-one forgets me, and girls love to yell and repeat my nickname...
