The choice of the name of the little Brazilian Barbie

Santos resident Roberta da Costa Brandão, 41, represents the most enthusiastic fans of the most famous doll in the world. She is so in love with Barbie that when her first daughter was born, she decided that the child would be named after the doll.

To the G1 portal, the mother says that she always liked the toy and the color pink during her life. So when she got pregnant, she knew she was going to have a girl.

“I didn't think twice about naming her Barbie. It's like my homage to the doll. She, my daughter, is my articulated Barbie,” she said.

However, the woman recalled that the registry office almost prevented her wish. The attendant did not immediately accept the idea and decided to consult the site supervisor before completing the registration.

The child's father also did not agree with the choice, but Roberta was firm and defended the decision, claiming it was her dream and emphasizing: “the only person who can ban me is the judge. If he doesn't say it's forbidden, nobody will stop me."

The second son, ten months old, was almost named Ken to honor the Barbie doll and companion. According to the mother, the only idea was not realized because her passion for Ken is not as big as the love for barbie.
