So, Juan, Spanish for John, is pronounced as if it were an English word, and becomes "Juwan". Then someone enterprising spells the "wan" part as if it were in Spanish, which leads to "Jajuan". In a few more years, i expect to see a basketball player named "Jajuwan".

Ronebofh? Somehow I doubt it. Most Barbies are clean-shaven.

If you mean me, I have to say that I doubt it even more. Barbie and I are almost exactly the same age -- we both came out in August 1959. But that image is cropped from this poster. (http://www.about-face.org/gow/newten/1/) There's quite a resemblance.

That's nothing. You should see her accessories!
