but, i'm pretty sure Barbaro's a family name.
Well, specifically on account of it being mine.
Shouldn't it be Lucchase Barbaro?

Barbaro is a name: both in Spanish and Italian.
In fact it's more common her femenine form: Barbara (e.g., Bárbara
Rodríguez)

Ah, the joys of ego. It's your family name, so it could
only be a family name, eh?
Yeah, and Scott's a family name, so I guess I'd
have to change my name (Right, Fred?).
And McCabe, the newbie who joined us for a demo of VTES on
Monday, using one of her ancestor's family name as her
given name, tsk tsk.
And I'll write Harrison Ford to ask him to stop, too.
And Barbaro Garbey, the baseball player (he played back
in the '80s) -- someone should ask him to stop as well
(I would, but I don't have his address).
And Barbaro Teuntor Garcia, the trumpet player, too.
(And don't get me started on Giovanni.)

Been meaning to speak to you about that. But as long as you use
initials, I guess it's OK. :-)

haha, OD if you ask me, but i really enjoyed it.
So, why not rename Barbaro and make him a George ?
"George Lucchase"... i believe it sounds very good.
And i don't say that because my name is George... :P :P

Yeah, but think of all the people mis-appropriating your
family name as their first names you can take it out on. :-)
i figured it one way, and granted, wrong. i've never heard of it as
anything, but, and of course, granted, wrong.
A simple, oh, but actually, its been used commonly as a first name, in
X, Y, and Z places would have surely sufficed, jackass.
Here and all, to think lil' ol me was just feeling pleased and puzzled
to see my name (in a manner of speaking) name in lights (in a manner
of speaking).

Barbara is also an Italian name, Barbaro is *not* a name used in
modern time, but maybe in the past...(I'm not sure)
In Italian BARBARO is a noun for stranger, barbarian (also a methapor
for a rude or cruel person) OR an adjective relative to the noun
above.

'Barbarossa' means 'red beard' afaik.
It would seem fairly likely that 'Barbaro' shares the same root -
'barbarians' would be the ones with long, unkept beards.
...but checking on that reveals it as just a coincidence, 'Barbaro' and
'Barba' have unrelated origins.
Flux
The root for the term "barbaro", both in spanish and italian, comes from
ancient greek. AFAIK it was the term used by the city states to determine
those tribes who came from the north.
> Flux
"Barbaro" and "barba" also exist in portuguese.
"Barbaro" was applied to any 'stranger' (meaning strange language and
customs), for the Romans that would mean mostly the nordic tribes.
According to several sources on the web, it's origin is 'bar-bar', a sound
mocking the foreigners' attempts to speak the native language.
