What was Ken and Barbies Last Name?
Barbie’s fictional biography has developed with her continued sales. She has been given the fuller name Barbara Millicent Roberts, and a family and friends have been manufactured for her, starting with her beau Ken. Additions to the family tree include Skipper (debut 1964), twins Tutti and Todd (1966), Stacie (1992), Kelly (1995), and baby Krissy (1999). Barbie and Ken began dating in 1961, but broke up in early 2004. Rumor has it that the end of their 43 year romance was at least partly due to Ken’s reluctance to get married. After a long estrangement, Barbie was reunited with her best friend Midge in the early nineties. Other longstanding friends in Barbie’s ethnically diverse social circle include Hispanic Teresa, African-American Christie and Steven (ostensibly Christie’s boyfriend), and the ethnically-ambiguous Kayla Doesn’t give one for Ken that I can see. On a side note, my grandparent’s names were Barbie and Ken. Their last name is Flaminio.
