The source for Taqui's name initially being Barbara is Ransome's letter to his mother on August 12-13th 1917.
Ransome writes that Dora's baby's name is "Barbara Harriet". Hugh Brogan's note on this is that "Her name was soon changed to Taqui".
See the 'War and Revolution: 1914-1917' section in 'Signalling to Mars' by Hugh Brogan.
