The number of babies named “Barbie” may increase around the world. According to People magazine, the number of babies named “Barbie” may increase around the world.

According to the American naming website “Nameberry,” since the movie “Barbie” was released in the U.S. in July, the number of searches related to the movie has skyrocketed.

According to the data, searches for the name “Barbie” have increased 603% since the first trailer for “Barbie” was released in April. Searches for Barbie’s boyfriend “Ken (Kenneth)” have also risen 293%.

However, Nameberry editor-in-chief Sophie Keim said, “Barbie and Ken pique parents’ interest, but their actual use is another story. Barbie is a mainstream name among the Amish (a religious group primarily of German immigrants), though,” she said.

Keim added, “Both Barbie and Ken are old-fashioned names with no plans to make a comeback. They may increase a bit due to the movie, but neither will be among the most popular baby names in 2023,” he answered matter-of-factly.

Barbie is unlikely to make it to the top of the rankings: Barbie is ranked 1,896 out of 2,000 most popular names in 2023, while Ken is ranked 113 out of 2,000.
