I don't hate this name, but I don't like it. When I hear it, all I think about is Babs' Uvula, a SNL sketch from the 70s, and the song Green Day named after it.

Guys, if you think this is a bad nickname for Barbara, try Barb! That's much worse!
Obviously it could only be a nickname, but I think this would sound quite nice on a real person or fictional character. On the one hand, it could be for someone very kind and innocent, but I think it could also work for more of a trickster.

I don't think Babs sounds bad! Babs is a pretty name. I think of Babs Bunny when I hear the name Babs. I believe Babs sounds super cute. :)

This sounds like an old-fashioned infantile name from the 1940s to me. It should only be used as a nickname, because it woud be hard to take someone with this as their actual name seriously.
