You may have seen this story lately, how Mattel is offering to buy back old Barbie dolls in exchange for credit to buy a new one or something else on their site
That got me thinking. Does Barbie have a full name? Or is it just simply “Barbie”?
She does have one come to find out, as well as a whole backstory! Barbie’s full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. She is from Willows, Wisconsin. Her birthday is March 9, 1959. She also first made her debut when she was displayed at the New York Toy Fair.
