NO.

I personally loathe the name because I have a cousin of said name who was a horror. She is 2 years younger than I am and at my 7th Birthday party because she didn't win a round of pass the parcel, she stood up and deliberately wet herself in front of all of us. Thumbs down from here I'm afraid.

Er, no.

It's just not a good name!

Barbara Bush

Barbara Cartland

You would be ahead of the game in retro chic.

All those Mabels would look very passe

Wonderstuff · 22/01/2009 20:30

laughable I'm afraid

It's a bit outdated I fear... are you living in 1964?
