Ideally the honor name will be a derivative or modernization of a past loved ones name.  The closer the better but even having the first letter is enough.  Curious if anyone knows of any names connected to Barbara that I haven’t thought of. [/quote]

Barbary.  I know someone named Barbary.[/quote]

As in the pirates?

For Barbara I have heard of Barb, Babs, and Lara as nicknames. Lara was the daughter of another Barbara and didn’t want to be Babette. She also found Lara easier to write. My aunt Barbara was called Aunt Babar when the kids were little, fortunately she loved that book.

I think the honor name tradition is lovely and always enjoy hearing about why the names are chosen.[/quote]

No.  Smart A$$.  It is a real name.  Stop screaming your ignorance.  Also, the woman I know is Jewish.

"Barbary Origin and Meaning
The name Barbary is girl's name meaning "foreign woman". In Medieval England, Barbary was a common given name and short form of Barbara. Today it exists as a surname, either derived from Barbara itself, or in French, from the Occitan barbari, meaning "barbarian.""[/quote]
