This group of mothers have all chosen names for their children that are special. Taking time to select your doll's name shows that you are thoughtful. |
There is much to be considered in naming your doll and making a wise choice is not always easy. A Doll's name is one of the first intimate choices about your pretend friend you will need to make.

Because individuality and creativity are important character traits to encourage in oneself, you may consider a unusual name more important. Do not, however, choose it if, it is inappropriate to say in public.
