Had no idea!
Her name isn’t very glamorous lol it sounds quite old, Barbara Millicent?!

Does Ken have a middle name and a surname?

My children were amazed. LOL

Haha, well there you go then. She has a middle name and a surname!

Well there you go lol
I would have never thought about what her surname was

Makes no real difference as my daughters and youngest son have given her their surname as they do all their dolls.

Someone will make a fortune doing a family tree for her!

I grew up playing with Barbie and Ken dolls as a girl and even forced my brother to play with me!
Surprised to hear the actual name of the dolls!

well there ya go!

I now feel like since i know barbies real name its made me a better person lol

I have heard this before… Can’t remember where.

Love the middle name.

Ha! Ha! That’s quite a discovery.
Indeed, no surname for Penny. You are right mom 206279!!

Hilarious! Barbie’s surname made news!

No wonder it was shortened to just Barbie! Lol!

  I am surprised the name was not shortened to Barb! All of the Barbaras’ I know get called Barb! 😉

How do I feel after hearing this news ? Lol, I don’t feel anything, not very interesting. It’s just a doll, every owner of this doll can give it their own chosen name.

What Barbara ?? It’s a nice name but I found the whole name too long

Haha I like the comment below! I thought doll was Barbie’s last name

I still want to know what Penny’s surname was before she married Leonard on Big Bang Theory.
