Mariposa...... the barbie commercial???!!

So I’ve seen a commercial several times for the new [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] [name_f]Barbie[/name_f] doll. As rediculous as it sounds, I think this name is becoming more popular because of that?! What do you think? Is this even a recognized name …

Well, it’s Spanish for butterfly. I’ve never seen the commercial. I suppose the imagery is nice, and she could go by [name_f]Mari[/name_f] or [name_f]Posy[/name_f]. It’s cute, but definitely not my style. A little too cute, I guess.

the [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] is a butterfly, the name has been found in video games…yeah, I can see it being used. Certainly if [name_f]Mimosa[/name_f] is listed on Nameberry, perhaps [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] should be as well. As should Temijun :wink:

Oh interesting! That is neat that it’s Spanish for butterfly. I wonder why it’s not listed on nameberry… And that makes me wonder how many other names are not listed.

Oooh, I think it’s cute actually.
My mom is afraid of butterflies. She starts screaming when she sees one.
I can imagine her face if I tell her “I’m going to name my daughter ‘butterfly’” :rolleyes:

[name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] isn’t a name, it’s an insect (JMO, of course).
