Name of your childhood toy?

If you had a favorite toy growing up (Doll, stuffed animal, Imaginary friend etc.) what was it’s name? I had a stuffed beagle named [name_u]Copper[/name_u] :dog: :sparkling_heart: (real origanal I know lol)

I had a beagle named Bagel. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

One of my absolute favorite special toys was my little baby doll. I named her [name_u]Sunny[/name_u] after the Series of Unfortunate Events books.

I had a zillion stuffed animals and all had their own name. It was a running gag in the family…

The ones that I have the most attachment to were very creatively named Jag (a jaguar), Zickity (a talking zebra that said its name was [name_u]Ziggy[/name_u] but I misheard it), and Tombo (a turtle).

Zebras have always been my favorite animal, so I had like 20 zebra stuffed animals and they were all (except Zickity) named Stripy. :skull:

I had stuffed animals called Snowball, Funky, Groovy, [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_m]Herb[/name_m], Frog [name_m]Morton[/name_m], Bemerly and Droggy (a joke because I couldn’t pronounce ‘FR’ sounds when I was small)

I had twin baby dolls that I named [name_u]Shannon[/name_u] and [name_f]Shayla[/name_f]. One doll was in a mint green onesie with a matching hat, the other had a white onesie with a matching hat. [name_u]Shannon[/name_u] (the one I played with most) had it’s eyes closed and [name_f]Shayla[/name_f] had open eyes. I had another that I named [name_f]Mia[/name_f]. She was very very small, with a plastic head and a soft body that was in a pink onesie,

Growing up, I had tons of dolls with different names. [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_u]Marie[/name_u], [name_f]Iridessa[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_f]Rosabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f], [name_f]Elsa[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Liliana[/name_f], [name_f]Fantasia[/name_f], [name_f]Blossom[/name_f], [name_f]Adella[/name_f] and [name_u]Chelsea[/name_u] were a few. I also had dolls named [name_m]Ken[/name_m] (how original, and there were two of them!) and [name_m]Peter[/name_m]. I also have a black and white teddy bear (a panda, one might say) named [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m]. A smaller caramel teddy bear was named [name_f]Candy[/name_f] for the brand that made them.

I drew a lot of inspiration from the things I watched, bonus points for anyone guessing where these names came from!

I wasn’t yet a namenerd when I had toys of my own, but a doll we had for my sibling - I named her [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. Not that anyone knew she had a middle name… it was just [name_f]Lily[/name_f] for them.

All my toys had a name and I never changed them during different playtimes. I was thinking about it the other day and I don’t remember most of them :exploding_head: But some of my absolute faves that I remember:

[name_f]Isabel[/name_f], [name_f]Diana[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_u]John[/name_u], Granny (barbie :joy:), [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_m]Bernard[/name_m] and [name_f]Katarina[/name_f], [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] (stuffed dog. I was so proud of that name, made it up on my own. And then I found out it’s a well known name…), [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] (baby doll)

[name_f]My[/name_f] sister’s coolest toys were: [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], [name_m]Eric[/name_m], [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f], [name_f]Cindy[/name_f], [name_f]Binah[/name_f], [name_f]Mireille[/name_f], [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Meribel[/name_f] (my sister’s babydoll :smile::smile:)

this is going to sound weird, but let me explain.

I didn’t like to play when I was growing up, I didn’t see the point, but I did have a blanket that I loved and talked to. I named it fluffy. and I still have to have fluffy in my bed with me for me to be able to sleep.

The first two dolls I named were Curly [name_u]Shirley[/name_u] and [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]. I have no idea why, they just were. When I was younger I would collect [name_u]Baby[/name_u] Alives and I used up all of my unique spellings on them (thank goodness, cus I can’t stand them now). I don’t remember them all (I had too many), but some I do are: [name_f]Clover[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_u]Scout[/name_u], and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f].
I was not as creative with stuffed animals, they usually ended up as the animal they were (ex: [name_f]Bunny[/name_f] and Zebra)
