Stuffed Animal-type children

[super-bitch06.livejournal.com]

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.

Friends Forever bear - Geri
Purple shaggy & Black shaggy beanie - Shaggy & Scruffy XD

And I have a mouse puppet that I decided as a kid would be a sex-changing puppet - when it's a girl it's name is Jackie and when it's a boy it's name is Jason LOL. Yeah, I was a weird kid.

[frenchnails.livejournal.com]

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.

[super-bitch06.livejournal.com]

Haha we have something like that, too! A dog made out of wires, nuts and bolts. It's tail is a spring so every time our dog brushes by the tail wags and she goes nuts. :-D

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.

well, i don't have any stuffed animals. but.....i DO have a pair of siamese cats named Ethel and Julius Rosenberg. (known collectively as The Rosenbergs.) named after the pair of communist spies that suposedly stole the secret of the atomic bomb..... does that count? ;)

[supermonkeyfics.livejournal.com]

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...

[skudge.livejournal.com]

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. :]

[thefreshchuff.livejournal.com]

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.

[thefreshchuff.livejournal.com]

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).

[babyjess8.livejournal.com]

hehe ilove stuffed toys and always insist on naming them. some of mine are:

zoey - pink (almost whiteish now! lol) bear i have had since i was born. she goes with me everywhere
raphael (nn Raff) - blue puppy, named cos dogs say 'raf raf'
Artan - polar bear. Artan means Little bear in Celtic/Gaelic
Gracey-Tom - deer, named for my two little cousins

[pinhole-vision.livejournal.com]

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.

[dreams-illusion.livejournal.com]

I have a pretty big stuffed panda bear named Guapo.
And my doll since birth, Abba, short for Abigail.
:]
yay for stuff animal names

[ramblings.livejournal.com]

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!

[makeitstopjamie.livejournal.com]

I named my pink teddy bear Pink Bear. Yes, I know very creative;)

And I named my Build-a-Bear my favorite girls name, Promise.

[super-bitch06.livejournal.com]
