In honor of my mother whose name was Barbara with the last initial “B”, I tried to make a list of all Barbara Bs. There weren’t quite enough, so I added a few other famous Barbaras. My alternate is the most famous of all, but it always annoyed my mother that she dropped an “a” from her name. The Barbara Bush in my list is the daughter of GW Bush. **Barbara, Barbara, Barbara** Barbara Babcock Barbara Bach Barbara Bain Barbara Barrie Barbara Bouchet Barbara Boxer Barbara Bush Barbara Chase-Riboud Barbara Carrera Barbara Eden Barbara Feldon Barbara Hershey Barbara Mandell Alt Barbra Streisand ---
