Barb

Stranger things have happened than giving baby the name Barb. A diminutive of Barbara, this feminine moniker comes from the Greek term barbaros, translating to “foreign.” The name reappeared in the mainstream with the Stranger Things character_,_ who was born in the 1960s when the name was at its most popular. Barb was a kind, clever soul and a good friend to those around her, which are lovely characteristics for baby to have. Perhaps you are a diehard fan of the sci-fi series. Or maybe you simply like the shortened version of the classic Barbara. Whatever the reason for choosing Barb, baby will surely feel at home with it.
