Given the long-running nature of the franchise, a lot of Dub Name Changes have happened for the French-American series, Barbapapa.
In most dubs, the names Barbapapa, Barbamama, Barbabelle, and Barbalala are kept the same: this will not be noted if a change was not applied.
A work in progress.
English
Considering a lot of dubs of both the 70s series and the 2019 reboot used the Canadian and British English dubs respectively as a base, a lot of dubs of both also kept a lot of the names of some of these characters the same, depending on which dubs you're talking about.- Barbidou to Barbazoo.
