Little Barb Arbuckle Tires of the Name “Little Barb” – From Now On Wants To Be Called Rhubarb Arbuckle


The person formerly known as Little Barb says she’s just getting too old to have “Little” be a part of her name.  And she’s more than a little tired of feeling like she’s always standing in her mother’s shadow; being that her mom is named Barb.  As for the name “Rhubarb,” she says that’s a natural.  It’s her favorite vegetable; although she’ll quickly (and repeatedly) tell you that it’s often mistakenly referred to as a fruit.  But even more importantly, it’s the name of what she says is the “adorable mascot” of her favorite minor league baseball team, the Tacoma Rainiers.  (And as an editorial aside, I’ve always thought there was more than a passing resemblance between the two.)  So, from here on out, Rhubarb Arbuckle it is.  You go girl!
