So, I'm pretty sure a significant number of you in this community have had a Cabbage Patch Doll at some point in your lives, yes? I want to know what the name was. Comment, please. :-)

You beat me. :-)

I'll start...

Mine was Fayette Luna.
My brother's was Austin Irvin.
My daughter's is Jewel Karina.

I've only had one!

But his name was Xavier Robert.

[emilybrianne.livejournal.com]

Xavier Roberts was the "inventor" of Cabbage Patch Dolls.

His signature was on every doll's butt. Maybe that's what you remember? Or maybe you were extra special and got one named after it's creator!

I called mine Saralizabeth

[emilybrianne.livejournal.com]

Mine was Genia Imelda.

I was wicked jealous of my little sister (even though I was pretty indifferent about the dolls, being in junior high and all when the craze hit).

Hers was Juliet Suzette.

I had a ton but the only one I remember the name of was the little boy...Fletcher.

I named mine Betsy. I don't know if it was the name she came with, or if just decided on it. I think the woman who gave me her might have been named Betsy...

I just got my son one for christmas and it's name is Beryl Ronny.

I wanted to add too, I can't remember my cabbage patch's name but I called her Sarah. I let my son pick out his own and he picked the bald one with the dummy hanging out of his mouth... looks just like him, lol. ;)

Mine was Sean. I don't know why my parents got me the boy one.

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

I had 9.

Hortensia Pamela
Samantha ?
Denny Roger
Bereka Melissa (her original name was Bertha, but my grandmother informed me of her purchase in a letter and my grandmother has bad hand-writing. I decided to stick with Bereka instead.)
Vanessa Ema
Orson Nolan
Cari Joella
Owen ?

Dang, I'm missing one. That makes me sad that I no longer remember all the names.

Memory Lane

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

My parent's couldn't afford one and I was really sad. My mom's friend was walking down the street one day and saw a bunch of teens kicking a doll around. She told them to cut it out and relized that it was a Cabbage Patch doll. She knew how much I wanted one, so she offered it to my mom, even though it was pretty beat up. It was July and my mom wrote me a special letter from Santa saying that the kid he gave the doll to at Christmas didn't take care of it, so he took it away and gave it to a good girl like me, as long as I would clean it up and love it. It was one of the baby boy dolls, and my mom named him Willy. I washed him and scrubbed the scuffs off where they boys had kicked him around. I was elated about the doll and wrote a letter back to Santa saying I would not let him down. I got to go to Toys R Us with my mom and get on outfit - a red and white sailor onesie. The following Christmas my Nana made him a sweater with a heart on it. he was my favorite doll for a long time.

I haven't though of that story in years! I hope I get to do something like that for my child someday...

That is the sweetest story... *wipes away a tear*

[la-jolie-vie.livejournal.com]

My doll's name was Janie.

[schexyschteve.livejournal.com]

I has one, but I don't remember the name. However, I always look at the names on the dolls when I go to a store with a toy section. I know they probably use a name generator, but ugh. Disgusting combinations. It'll always be something like Amory Shirley or Karissa Blanche. HIRE SOMEONE.

[piecesofmoi.livejournal.com]

I'm sure the do for most of them, but some are named by visitors at the babyland general hospital in Cleveland GA. I've been there when they had one born out of the cabbage patch, its really cute, and the audience gets to yell out names til they pick a first and middle. Those usually turn out just about as bad though haha.

Larissa Evie
Tyler London
Parker ?? (I can't remember, dang it.)

[satunian.livejournal.com]

I like Larissa Evie

[031307.livejournal.com]

My mom got my daughter one for Christmas and when I heard about it, I MADE her tell me the name.

Kaitlyn Bella.

[piecesofmoi.livejournal.com]

Oo that one got a good name! I've seen some with some pretty horrible names. Whenever I buy them as gifts I am VERY picky about their names.

[mrssubee.livejournal.com]

I think my first doll was Dody
my Mom actually got a call at 9 or 10 at night (I still remember) and was tipped off about a new shipment showing up at Toys R' US-
she came home with 2 dolls (1 for me, 1 for my younger sister) she got the cute blonde one with the pacifier, I got a not so cute redhead named Dody
never forget that

[justuschickens.livejournal.com]

Mine had a name, but I don't remember it, I just called her Patch. She is still on my shelf!

[piecesofmoi.livejournal.com]

I have one right now, NIB on my shelf, named Nicolette Alice. I bought her solely because her name is Nicolette, and because her outfit is too cute hehe :)
