If your editor says something might look unprofessional, you should listen to your editor. Your editor is a professional, whose task is precisely to make your work appear at its best. We, on the other hand, are a bunch of internet amateurs with good intentions. As @ArkensteinXII mentions in a comment, if you wish to go by "Babs", you can go by "Babs", no need to include "Barbara" at all. As an example, Sir Terry Pratchett always used "Terry Pratchett", never "Terence David John Pratchett", not even "Terence Pratchett".
