Name: Barbara

Meaning: Variations Babs, Babsy-baby, Barbedwire and Barracuda. This is an old Scottish name which comes from the word Bar (Scottish for Public House – a place where Scots go to get drunk). The first occurrence of the name is in 1818 when Dougie MacDougie was christening his first child. She was to be called Senga but during the ceremony Dougie was so keen to get away for a few beers he uttered the words “Bar, bar, Ah must get tae the bar.” Sadly the minister thought that Dougie wanted her to be called Barbara and so the name was christened – so to speak.
Barbaras are all compulsive liars and many tend to be thieves.
