    Sounds like trouble. There are ways to use such a domain legally, as there are with nearly every domain, but I would not touch it with a 10 foot pole. The owners of the Barbie trademarks are VERY aggressive in protecting it.

    Why would you want to use that mark?

    A site about bar-b-ques might be ok.

    Unless it is only down here in Australia we call them barbies
