This might sound slightly odd, but are there any (female) names in particular that remind you of dolls?

I've created this character for a story (NaNo, anyone?), and I wanted her to have a doll-related name (her father repairs dolls for a living), but I'm having trouble thinking of any. Barbie would be a little too obvious (I think I'll use that as a nickname her peers give her, anyway).

It's because of the American Girl dolls. She was my favorite, which is probably why I really like the name.

Coppelia was a doll in an opera by that name.

There's an Emily?

There's also a Julie doll, and Kit.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

Emily is new! lol. She's Molly's friend. She's a British girl, and she comes to live with Molly's family during WWII because of the bombings in England. At least that's what I've heard from my 6 year old cousin, who has the Emily doll. I have a Molly, and so she's always telling me that I have to bring Molly over so "they can play together."

i was going to say the American girl dolls names

[jack4sam.livejournal.com]

I'm shocked no one has said Polly yet.

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

Arabella - I know a little girl with this name and I always thought it was cute, but a bit too extreme-doll-like

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

Also: Nellie and Josefina.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

WIN!

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

Kelly

[supermonkeyfics.livejournal.com]

Ann - like Raggedy Ann? =)

Polly
and
Jemima, Meeka, Lisa and Kim (those of you from Australia - playschool!)

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Lizzy.
Mostly because Ms.Honey's doll in 'Matilda' was called 'Lizzy Doll' =P

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Dolly :P
She could be Dolores, like Lolita, and go by Dolly.
Ok, with her father's profession it would be too obvious.

Other dollish names to me are:
Dorothy (wizard of Oz) (and she could still go by Dolly :P)
Betsy
Bessie
Violet
Lily
Nora
Sissy
Chrissy
Cassidy
Cynthia
Poppy

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

oh, I forgot Mary and Wendy!

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

You triggered my curiosity, so I also found The Doll's house (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doll's_House_(short_story)), which is a short story featuring some interesting names. The kids are names Kezia, Lottie and Isabel

[anaphylexis.livejournal.com]

Skipper, Midge, Teresa, Marisa, Kelly, Deidre, Stacie, Whitney, Belinda, Courtney, Kira -- basically all of Barbie's friends and family. And the American Girl dolls.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Oh Poppy is a good one IMO!
The Dutch word for 'doll' is 'pop'. Idea? ;)

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Hold on for a sec, I just found out that you are Dutch, so...nevermind =P

How about Sasha (or Alexandra nicknamed Sasha) for Sasha Morgenthaler (http://www.sashadoll.co.uk/)
