Just figured I'd help to point out a neat little trick for the lonely barbarians out there. Now, to start things off, you'll need to get these properties on your weapon:
Furious + Courageous
After that, get the weapon's 'enhancement bonus' to a +4 (which would be +6 when you rage).
Now, according to Courageous, half of your weapons enhancement bonus gets added on to all of your moral bonuses.
Therefore, since Rage (and the Superstition rage power), all give moral bonuses...this is basically what you're looking at:
An additional +3 moral bonus to Strength, Constitution, and saves vs. spells (or just a +3 moral bonus to Will saves if you don't have Superstitious).
And then, if you REALLY wanna abuse your weapon, get the Desperate Battler feat.
Desperate Battler - When no ally is within 10 feet of you and you are not receiving benefits from the aid another action, you gain a +1 morale bonus on melee attack and damage rolls.
Your weapon would thus give you an additional +3 moral bonus to your attack and damage rolls (equaling a +4 moral bonus to hit and damage just from this single feat).
pretty cool no? ;)
will remember.
other fun ones: impact is a neat one for raw damage (if you're aiming for size shenanigans), vigorous seems interesting for barbs as well.
courageous seems like it'd be useful for bards, cavaliers, and maybe paladins as well, and the latter two have specific weapon enchants for them too (dastard springs to mind for cav, but its counterpoint and the ones for paladins/antipaladins elude me at the moment.)
My barbarian has a +2 bane rapier, only cause its the most powerful weapon we've found so far. I take that back. There's a +2 defending longsword too, and I'm starting to use that sometimes to compensate for AC loss from raging. The visual of a rapier wielding barbarian is a bit humorous though.

I like the swashbuckling barbarian idea!
Imaging cutting a 'Z' into an opponents chest with a large bastard axe! Although some barbarians would have trouble spelling 'Z' correctly.
I can imagine the barbarian using the disarm CM to disarm someone of their arm!
The witty repartée! ''If fart I am, as you claim; your face must be the place from whence I came!''
Impressing the ladies with a necklace made of the thumbs of enemies who don't need them any more!
Saying ''Touché!'' when the opponent's head flies off to a distance of 30-feet; 40-feet with fast movement!
A two-handed war-club with an elaborate filigree'd basket hilt and a silver nail through it!
The ermine cape. It's lots of live ermine tied together and hung round the neck.
Using a musket as a thrown weapon.
Using the enemy as a thrown weapon.
Shouting the war cry, ''Not the face!''
Hmmm... can't find Courageous weapon enchantment on PFSRD. Which book has it listed?
ultimate equipment. the pfsrd hasnt really updated for UE, and a good deal of stuff form the ARG is also unused.

I wouldn't call him a swashbuckler, but that would be funny. Its simply the best weapon he has found. I started reading the original Conan books by Robert E Howard and wanted to make a barbarian that was near-feral when young and became civilized, to explore how the two halves would play out. Sadly, when caught up in the moment of RP I forget to keep both in mind.

I've used the idea of a born barbarian getting fighter levels to represent a certain civilisation. He wears his greatsword at his hip as if it were a rapier. His silk shirt gets a bit disheveled when he rages, and he still has his 1000-yard stare!
