'Barabbas' is not a proper or surname, -it is what this particular man was called.
'Barabbas' is an Aramaic appellation, -the meaning of which is: Bar = Son + Abba = Father (as in 'the Father of us all' or, 'God', if you will).
So, unbeknown to you, the question really is: 'Was (the) Son of God good'?
I would hope that the answer is 'yes'.
His 'name' was actually "Jesus", -written in the original Greek Gospel according or attributed to Matthew (27:17) but that His name was omitted from the Latin translation (around 390 c. e.) and most of the subsequent translations thereafter... leaving us (latter-day people) with only 'Barabbas' instead.
