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?

I scrapped the name I was given and named her Molly, after my aunt who gave her to me!

I named all of my toys when I was younger (and still do). Here's a short list of some I remember:

Zoey - the bear I have had since I was a baby. Don't know where the name came from.

Tiffany Louise, Jessie, Thomas, Zach (after the power-ranger), Ashley (after MK and Ashley Olsen), Lucy (after the Hanson song), Bridget - all dolls

More recently: Artan, Raphael, Dragon - stuffed animals from my bf

No cabbage patch dolls, but I have a stuffed t-rex named TJ, a stuffed dog named Crosby, and a stuffed lion named Kip :)

pretty hideous, i say.

My cabbage patch doll was named Betsy. I don't remember if I named her that myself or if she came with the name, though. I do know that I didn't like it when I was five-six.

I don't know, someone must have sat around coming up with these names. I don't really mind Leticia but some of them were pretty hideous. Especially to little girls who usually love really fluffy, girly names.

I don't remember what they were, but I remembered that I hated the first name and liked the middle name, so I just called her by the middle name. I'm pretty sure the middle name was Sabrina, actually.

Oh, and the only dolls/plush animals I named when I was little were Mamie, Curly, Chester, Charlie, and Linda.

And when I was ten, I got an American Girl doll that I called Caitlin.

i have a CPK on my shelf right now that is unopened named ....

Lesbia Pelagia

i swear...i can take her pic tomorrow...she sat on the shelf for like 2 months and everytime we went to wal-mart, i would check and beg to get her. finally, she was on sale for 18 bucks and i took her home.

besides that i had 27...yeah...27 CPK's as a kid. i was kinda obsessed...which is why i'm still buying them at 32.

My Cabbage Patch dolls are Elaine Monica and Clive Hugh. I kept their names, though I didn't particularly like them

[soulsplinter8.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness. Lesbia Pelagia. What a name...

[poohbaby.livejournal.com]

I collected CPKs as a child...my current count is 41 (ohh the money i could've saved!) I'm 30 now and I use my daughter as an excuse to keep buying them-she's 3 and already has 5...i tend to buy her one every christmas and birthday :/

i think i need counseling! :)

[poohbaby.livejournal.com]

i always look at the names of CPKs before i buy them...my kids each got a CPK for christmas last year...the names on those papers are Benjamin Sean and Meredith Rose... i could live with those names! :)

Okay mine was Eleanor Vita, my older sister's was Ezra Yolanda and my little sister had two - Heather Bueler (or something) and Scarlett Mary.

I didn't have a doll like that, but I did have a lot of dolls =D I loved them.
Their names (the ones I can remember) were Melanie, Nina, Saartje (I'm Dutch, people, it's like 'little Sarah) and Liselore 8). Wow. Good times.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

Lesbia... that's amazing! Does she have short spiky hair, an affinity for flannel, and a collection of Indigo Girls music?

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

Scarlett Mary is pretty. =)

[sweet-caro1ine.livejournal.com]

Oh how good is THAT!!! I love it! I'm still giggling and probably will be for the next week. If I'd seen her I would have bought her too.

I never owned one, we don't have them in Europe, these are the names I have given to my stuffed animals
Trisha - purple turtle
Bonnie - rabbit with a sad eye
Molly - bear with a skirt
Leopoldo - bear with rainbow ears
Ganesh - elephant
and my bf has named for me my two unicorns - Rupert (big) and Benjamin (small). He has a giraffe named Tabata.

Is Ezra also a girl's name? :O

[jordle.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we always agreed that she got the best name :D

[jordle.livejournal.com]

According to my cabbage patch it was. I grew up thinking it was a girl's name because of that doll.

My daughter's first attempt at naming her toys was a unicorn who she called Horsicorn (for obvious reasons) but she has since progressed to really weird names.
Her dolly - Don King
Her garden gnome - Golarge
Her porcelain doll - Velia

She is three and just puts different sounds together.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

hahaha Horsicorn is wonderful :D
and Velia sounds very appropriate for a porcelain doll
sounds like she has a musical ear ;)

I thought Emily Anne was a Cabbage Patch name. But now that seems too normal.
I was searching around online and saw ones named Jewel Josephine and Kimberly Pearl.
