baby doll names.... - Page 3

[travlr]

My DD has Lolipop, "the twins" (two dolls that kinda look alike but that did not arrive at our home even close to the same time) -they were finally named Ben and Lizzie. We also have Coco and Flip Flop Flee. Most of the dolls got their names from books.

[koru]

these are all too adorable!

funny how most dc's name their dolls after people they know or characters from books. my girls say random sounds & out comes a name!

The other was Dumb Girl Bear (what did Drew do, channel Hank Ketchum? He did like some girls), who would simply stomp on Wolfgang.

We have an Emily (I believe after Emily Elizabeth in the Clifford books)
A Baby
A Sweetie Pie
And "Naked Barbara" (a Barbie doll who is *always* naked. My mom gave it to dd, told dd the doll's name was Barbie, dd asked what the doll's "big name" was meaning her full name as opposed to nickname, and promptly stripped her naked and declared that the doll only wanted to be called Barbara, not Barbie! )

We also have:
Olivia the Bear and...
"Hello" the Kitty

My DS is too young to name anything yet... but I wanted to comment on some of these.

I named my baby doll after my father's bald accountant. Charlie.

One of my sisters named dolls based on babies born in our family.

My other sister named things with wild abandon including Lappa Jappa, and Princess Aglora.

On another note along the same lines of naming a doll by a real name they had never heard, my sister pointed to all photos of young men in uniform and said "Bobby" when she was little. We often wondered about past lives.

[Mama2Bug]

We have:

Baby Lucy
Big Baby
Cinerella (Note the lack of a "d". It's on purpose.)
Liddle White Bear
Baby
Little Girl
New Best Friend
Goo Lock Bear (Good Luck Bear the Care Bear)
Sakura
Rosebud (She was mine and I named her. )
Baby Megan (Also was mine- named after my toddlerhood best friend)
Freddie Bear (Was DH's.)
Mama Bear (Named after me, presumably because I knitted him. She insists that Mama Bear is a boy. )

[JenInMpls]

Oh, my.

We have:

Kitty (stuffed cat)
Dog Doggy (stuffed dog)
Gertie (larger stuffed yellow lab dog from IKEA, named after our neighbor's yellow lab)
5 Eikus including mama Eiku, mommy Eiku, and baby Eiku (Eiku - pronounced eye-koo - being my son's early attempt at the monstrously long german word Eichhörnchen, meaning squirrel) - Beanie baby squirrels

And lest we forget our 4 dolls...
Dolly
Little Dolly
Boy.... and
Boy.

Waiting for those creative juices to flow, here!

[sunshine's mama]

[boysmom2]

I have tears streaming down my face as I read these - too funny!

DS1 has named the following:

The baby doll is named Cherry
Alfred is a duck
Boo is a bear
Max is a cat

Dave and Mao are the monkey and cat at my parents' house.

DS2 named his frog Mr. Froghead.

[ledzepplon]

My dd has baby dolls named:
Bock
Baby Tacky
Marissa (after her friend's baby sister)

She has animals named:
Veronica Partner (that's her horse)
Marcel the Monkey
Goodnight Bear

And her favorite "Little People" (the Fisher Price toys) are called Veronica (her name) and Tlali (the name of her friend from swimming lessons).

Cute thread idea!

my 3yo's current favorite baby was named Farler for most of one day, then she changed it to Parler and that name stuck. The baby is female, I've been told.

Does that have something to do with acorn? Is it like "little acorn-eating creature" or something? (I know nothing about german, don't laugh at me )

[jennnk]

Most of Andy's dolls are Annie or Anna, but he has a monkey named Boo and another named Tim. MIL's fiance is a very tall man named Tim

ETA: I just remembered the BEST toddler naming story ever. I nannied for a little girl who was precociously verbal. I mean 5-year-olds have smaller vocabularies and shorter sentences than this girl did when I met her at 32 months. Her family adopted a stray cat and let her name it. She named it Shlack-Shlack. Yeah.

If he ever gets embarrassed, tell him on nights when my husband isn't home for one reason or another, I STILL sleep with the teddy bear (Theodora, nickname Teddy) I got for my first birthday, and I'm 25 now. In college, I slept with that thing nearly every night, and on the nights when someone else was crammed into my extra-long twin bed, she was at the head of the bed above the pillows.

Yes! No, I'd never laugh at someone attempting to understand German! You win the prize! Eiche is an Oak, Eichel is an acorn, so yeah, a squirrel is essentially (not literally translated) a little acorn eater.

And btw you made my day asking that question : jen

[pinecone]

Babette - from the tag (DD's favorite baby)
Sister - a dupicate of Babette I bought in case we ever lost #1
Emily
Peter
Kai
Happy - stuffed puppy dog
Jambo Sana - from an Ella Jenkens CD we listed to where we learned Jambo Sana means something like "very happy hello"

Sometimes she changes names on the dolls and lately they have been changed to:
Crystal
Crystal Rose
Lucia

[MacKinnon]

ALL of DD's dolls are named Sarah. All of them. She has been obsessed with the name Sarah since I was pregnant with DS. DD desperatly wanted a girl named Sarah. She introduced her brother as "W-E-L-L, my mom and dad are calling him Isaac, but I really wanted a sister named Sarah." She tells me at least every other day that she still wants a sister named Sarah.

Ds has a little wooden dollhouse boy named Tomato Basil (the mom is Lavendar and the dad is Byron Tapatio), a beanie baby tiger named Tamale, and he calls his hands "Em" and "Osh" since they turn into a pecking emu and ostrich.

[loraxc]

Oh, I love these so much!

DD's only baby doll is Enna. She's not that into dolls, but she names a lot of her plastic and stuffed animals. I've forgotten a lot of them, but here are some:

Frogs:
Everly and Peverly (they look basically alike)
Evia and Pevia
Cheddar Frog (a plastic poison dart frog that is cheddar-colored)
Plinda
Car Frog (used to come in the car with us a lot)
Circle Frog (has circle-shaped eyes--she named this one when she was very little)

Penguins:
Bekatoo and Podorun

Little People:
Manamoon and Meamoon

Imaginary cats:
Other Kitty Butternut (our real cat is named Butternut), Bessie, Leah, and Lee

Imaginary siblings: Max, Lisa, Lily, and Jabba

Oh, and right now she is pregnant with Lowly Worm (from Richard Scarry.)

[NaturalRose]

My 4yo is very inventive when it comes to names )

Tube- first baby doll
Candy- poor thing got left outside and lost
Ungerdane- Baby doll who live @ Gramas
Danelion- orange kitty from Build a bear

If she had her way, our new baby would have been named Kashita. I think it was a mix of Kashi, her favorite cereal and Rita a friend of hers.
