Cabbage Patch Kids

[sweet-caro1ine.livejournal.com]

I was just watching my daughter today playing with my old Cabbage Patch Kid  (I've had her 24 years) and started thinking about the names of these dolls.  My doll came with the name Ida Adriana.  Now, when I was 7 and was given this doll I remember initially being quite disappointed with the name but I didn't change it and now I quite like it.  So I was just wondering, has anyone else had a Cabbage Patch Doll and what was it's name?

This is a really strange ceremony and I guess this is why the CPKs had such bad names!!

The Cabbage Patch Birthing Ceremony

Dolls are "birthed" every hour during business hours in a procedure during which one of the resident "nurses" aids the Magic Crystal Tree in producing each doll.

With her are the pink and blue bunnybees that pollinate the kids with crystals, determining if the newborn is a boy or girl.

The nurse comments on how much the Tree is dilated and injects with "Imagicillin," an "experimental but highly recommended" drug.

If the need arises, a "C-section" or "Cabbage section" may be administered.

After the doll is successfully birthed, the audience is asked to provide suggestions for the its first two names--the third of which is always that of the adopter.

These names are then recorded on its certificate and on a name tag, and the doll takes a place among the hundreds that inhabit the facility's nurseries and play environments.

A full-featured Intensive Care Unit is in place to handle premature births and otherwise unhealthy newborns.

that's the "live Show" at the actual Cabbage Patch museum/whatever place in GA

I've been a couple times growing up/taking friend's kids and it's kinda interesting, but they do come up with wacko names.
and those dolls are SUPER expensive (like $300-400), but they are completely different and much much nicer than the mass produced ones in boxes, my friends have some

Oh I didn't know that! But $300 for a doll? I guess if you really are into something price doesn't matter.

yep, notice i said that I didn't have one of those! haha
it's definately fun to visit there though, they have a bunch of cute activities for the kiddies (boys and girls) :)

My parents did that when I was little. Somewhere there is a cabbage patch kid named after me.
