So everyone names their kids and everyone names their pets. Does anyone else name their stuffed animals? :-D!

I'm obsessed. Every time I get a new one, I name it. I'm just curious if I'm completely alone in that!


My favorites:
Rufus - dog
Loki Alabaster - Snow Leopard
Tubby - Hippo
Meatie Hash - Teddy
Wolfgang Leslie - Polar Bear pillow. (Named for my favorite members of Dschinghis Khan <3)
Winnifred - Bunny
Lysander - Whistling Gorilla (Shakespeare FTW)
Dulce - Teddy

And those are just my favorites that I brought to college. I've got about 60 million back home <3

So anyone else?!

Not in the least. :) I name them all. The most recent ones are:

Arthur: a mouse (or a rat, I'm not 100% sure)

Booker: a hedgehog

I was thinking of going back to the store they came from and getting an owl (he would be The Constable). Not sure why. ;)

I have a cow named Herb, and I had a good friend, the one who gave me Herb, who had a stuffed goose, a white one, named Ferdinand.

Oh and I forgot the large orange Nici beanie is named Jodi.

And we have this massive ceramic cat figure in our hallway that is as big as a real cat and it's name is Chocolate. It freaks our dogs out XD.

i had (r.i.p) a childhood stuffed animal that looked a lot like character alf but purple.
his name was smeagle beagle all the rest of my childhood stuffed animals i referred to as simply, dandy. anyway, now the stuffed animals i have are all from past relationships from the most part.
i have a purpleish teddy bear with writing all over it named TRAGEDY. yes, tragedy. i was in my dark stage when i was thirteen.
i have a pink stuffed pig from my first big relationship, i named her PIPPA, after a character in steven king's the perfect storm.
next i have a purple care bear from my ex, brian named ASPARA GUS. he really like the espara. and i told him it sounded like asparagus. so we named it that.
my current boyfriend got me a purple bunny for easter this year. we named her PURPLE HAZE. ;D
if you haven't noticed... i like purple.

Yay for naming stuffed animals! XD

Bob - cow
Bobette - other cow
Jim Bob - monkey
Sam - lion
Joe - leopard
Mr. Coco - bear
Steve - crocodile

These are just the ones I've gathered since middle school. Though I remember my favorite stuffed animals from my childhood childhood, I actually don't remember if I ever named them...

I thought everyone named them...until I got actual friends (in middle school), and then I realized that everyone thought I was a freak cause I named inanimate objects. But anyway...

Zaky: bear
Ginger: bear (and it's white...)
Mice: reindeer
Lily: basset hound
Sheepy: sheep xD

Just a few of mine. :]

I do the same. Though when I come across them years later, I always feel guilty when I can't remember their names.

I have a Sleepy Bear, a Gabe, and a Carver. All bears.

Oh, and I want to second those that name other inanimate objects. I name everything from tooth brushes (Frosty) to my toaster (Henry) to my iPod, (...iPod).

When I was really really little (like, two or three), my parents just named my toys after whoever gave them to me, but once I was old enough to understand the joy of naming things, I began to insist to my parents what their real names were. Except my stuffed bunny. I've had her since I was two or three.

Kathy:aforementioned bunny
One-Ton-Elephant-Of-Love: one of my best friends told me she loves me a ton, and I was like "that's as much as an elephant!" and she ended up making this beautiful green elephant doll.
Talia:stuffed pegasus from the aforementioned friend. (not handmade)
Pastel:reaaaaaly soft pastel-colored toy dog
Lucky:dalmation toy I got in costa rica when I was 2 1/2, first he was named spotty or something, but then he fell in a river on a mountain, and my dad ran down the mountain trying to save this little stuffed dalmation... he was saved by a beaver dam, so I decided he'd earned the name

There were so many more that I can't remember, too...

Naming *anything* is fun! I went through the dolphin phase (like every other girl) and named every dolphin featured on my calendar all year. Then I did the same the next year with kittens. :p

Barney - matted and misshapen brown teddy that I've slept with my whole life.
Ziggy - you know those teddy bears you get made of white fabric and you get people to write on them for birthdays and ends-of-school and stuff? Ziggy is my graduation bear. :D It started out as Siggy (short for signature) and mutated.
Beulah - incredibly creepy rag doll I made myself.
Woeful Moe - little red velvet bear, he has the saddest face you've ever seen.
Crumby - weird looking yellow dog.

I used to think that everyone named their toys too! Me and my sisters all did anyway =) My favourite is my lovely persian cat Pursiey =) They all somehow seem to get a gender associated with them as well!
