This article is a categoric listing of the names of the extended friends and family characters that have been merchandised for the iconic Barbie doll during her decades-long career as the world's most famous fashion doll. This is a chronological listing, featuring issue dates for the first year of release for a given character doll, and an end date where applicable. Names can be and often are re-used by Mattel, sometimes with spelling differences, which has led to two or more different characters having the same name, often at or around the same time frame.

[edit] Notes

• Although they have never been issued as dolls, Barbie's parents' names are known to be George and Margaret Roberts. As part of Barbie's early 1960s storyline, she was also known to have a cousin called LuluBelle. She, too, was never merchandised.

• Barbie's cousin Francie's mother (Barbie's aunt) is named Lillian Fairchild.

• Barbie's younger brother Todd has a twin sister. This sister was called 'Tutti' in the 1960s, and was later called 'Stacie' upon her re-release in the 1990s and beyond. It is generally assumed that they are the same character, since Todd couldn't have more than one twin sister.

• During 1983, Barbie's long-standing friend P.J. was suddenly and inexplicably billed as 'Barbie Doll's Cousin'. This notation lasted just the one year, and the subject was never broached again.

• Barbie's friend Shani, produced during the early 1990s, was marketed as the star of her own toy line, and later as a member of Barbie's cast (much like Barbie's cousin Jazzie, who was first released under her own line). Although Shani's friends aren't directly connected as "Friends of Barbie", they are linked to Barbie through their links with Shani. (It is assumed by many collectors that Shani from the Shani line is the same character as Shani from the Barbie line, as the dolls are identical in facial features, name and body type.)

• As part of Barbie's sister Stacie's 'Wee 3 Friends' line in the early 2000s, Stacie's two friends were billed under two different names each. The friends started out being called 'Alexa' and 'Miranda', but changed mid-way through the line to 'Janet' and 'Lila', respectively. Certain editions of these dolls can be found bearing either of these sets of names on the packaging.
