Barb Rosenstock: Hello, my name is Barb Rosenstock. Rosenstock is my husband's family name. It means rose tree. Rosenstock is also a really long last name so I use Barb instead of Barbara most of the time. My family name is Srebro. S-R-E-B-R-O. Or in Polish, Srebro, which is the word for silver.

Srebro has so many consonants in a row that English speaking people stumble and spit just trying to pronounce it. I was called Barb Sweet Roll a lot, which I thought was embarrassing in school. But now I think it's a great name for a character in a book. Although, maybe Barbara Silver Rose Tree is better.
