81 Barbie Dog Names Perfect For Your New Pup

Ahead of the 2023 film, find inspiration for naming your new pup.

Barbie, starring Margot Robbie, debuts in theaters later this month, and it might just be the inspiration you need to name your new puppy or dog.

The Greta Gerwig film is really just the latest addition to six decades of Barbie lore. It started with the dolls and Dreamhouses but now also includes books, TV shows, and movies that each empower young kids.

Maybe that's what you'd like to instill in your dog—many are available for adoption now, by the way—or maybe you just like the name Ken. (Not that one.) And if you're just looking for a good dog name, the Barbie universe has plenty: Skipper, Midge, and Todd, for example.

Take a look and stay tuned for the Oppenheimer-based list. (Lol no thanks.)
