I'm Barbara too. I don't think it's such a common name any more. There were lots of Barbaras when I was a child in the 50's but not so much nowadays. I taught for 30 years and in all that time I had only 1 Barbara in any of my classes.
Oh, and if you want uncommon names....
my father was Lamont
my mother was Valera
my maternal grandmother was Nina
my maternal grandfather was Wallace
my paternal grandmother was Gertrude
and my paternal grandfather was Reuben
I'm thankful for "Barbara" ;)
