Most Christians pronounce Barabbas slurred together with the emphasis on the first syllable, BARE-abbes.

If you know some Hebrew, the problem is far harder. The bar prefix on a name means "son of". So we have the two word patronymic name "bar Abbas," the son of someone named Abbas. But the s ending probably came in transliteration to Greek, so the name was probably "bar ABBA." That, however, is an odd name because Abba in Aramaic means the Father, so his name meant "son of the the father." This suggests that the name could have been a pseudonym, assumed when he became a zealot, or perhaps the name is a literary invention of the writer of the now-lost Aramaic source material on which the Gospels were based intended to convey the notion that Barabas was symbolically an everyman.
