Yes - it is usually a love-it or hate-it name, or perhaps the Ugly Betty of names.

While I try not to give popularity merit, it is significant to a variable degree - a degree which varies among different people at different moments. However, there are many people with the name of Barbara - as there have been for hundreds--perhaps even thousands of years, yet it is has declined with what seems to be the popularity of the Barbie Doll; which if true, the recent popularity decline bears as much significance as that of a rising and passing fad. Yet despite my efforts to belittle the value of popularity, even I care about it. I am more the type to value Heritage through extended periods of time, rather than the immediate or current trend, which I would ascertain magnanimously.
