“Barbie and Ken are piquing parents’ interest, but this doesn’t mean that will translate into actual usage. As of now, Barbie is a predominant Amish name,” Nameberry Editor-in-Chief Sophie Kihm said in a statement.

“Barbie and Ken are both dated names that aren’t due to comeback yet, so while there may be a slight bump from the movie, neither will be among the most popular baby names of 2023,” she added.

Barbie came in at 1,896 out of 2,000 popular names heading into 2023, while Kenneth came in at 113 out of 2,000.
