Given name- Barbara. reserved for my Mother, usually after the list of 5 other sisters' names are used with no response from me.

When I was young- Binky (I have no clue why) or Barbi (like Barbi Benton). About 15 I insisted no more Barbi, it was Barb.

My brother, who passed away 5 years ago at age 39, was the only one who could say Barbi and get away with it. I think it was the devilish smile and twinkle in his eye that said, go ahead, hit me, I'm still going to call you that. :)I used to tell him he was my favorite baby brother- of course, he was the only baby brother.

Hubby calls me Barb- he knows I can't stand that sappy crap of Babe or Honey. The kids call me Mom or Mommie-o. The grands call me Grammie Barb.
