HelpRe: Reborn
in reply to a message by igoesrawrOMG
Really, it's only a doll, so you should just name it whatever you feel like at the moment. You can always change it next week if you think of something better.

Were you never attached to a doll or stuffed animal or anything?
I bought a reborn doll in 2006 and I don't even like the name I gave her and I couldn't bear to change it now because that's her name. You don't just change a name years later.
The value of a doll is in the eye of the owner, just as the value of anything else.
You don't just change the name of the family pet even if it's a hermit crab. You don't change a child's stuffed animals' names. You don't change the name of the town you live in even if it only has 57 people in it.
Reborn dolls, if you are unfamiliar, are a work of art. They take hours and hours to make and the artists make exactly one of them and they cost hundreds to thousands of dollars so they are like priceless artwork. Don't disrespect that please.
If you don't have a nice thing to say, please keep your comments to yourself. The OP asked about names and this is a name website. Help out or don't reply, please. being rude/unhelpful is never necessary.

I changed my stuffed animals' names sometimes.

so did I, and ...
Some of them, and some dolls, didn't even have names.

I had names for everything, but you never would have guessed I was a namenerd that early on. A couple of my dolls were even named Rachael, because I was super kre8tyve.
I had no qualms about changing my toys' names, though. If I had a doll/stuffed animal I felt differently about as I got a little older, I would rename it. I think renaming a Reborn would be a little different, since, you know, it looks just like a real baby, but a regular doll or stuffed animal? Eh. I remember doing that, and I don't think it's a big deal.

My mother had several dolls as a child, and they didn't have names except when she played with them, whereupon she named them something for the purpose of whatever game or story she was playing. They were all most often called Katrina, and in fact her brothers and sisters were sure I was going to be named Katrina.

I had hundreds of dolls and stuffed animals and it's almost offensive to me to suggest renaming any of them.
I still have at least twenty stuffed animals in a bay window in my room and a few years ago, I wrote their names on their tags so they would get to keep their names if my little cousins took them to play with or anything else happened.
I just have a Velveteen Rabbit complex and I want to think my toys have feelings and therefore should be able to keep consistent names.

Really? Wow. That's hardcore.

I discussed this with my mother.
She has know taken credit for making me think this seriously about stuffed animals being sentient creatures.
She said she was pretty serious about it with me when I was younger because it was cute and "magical."
Now she admits she didn't expect me to hold onto that into adulthood, but between that and things likeToy Story, I'm doomed.

and fyi ..
I did get attached to dolls and stuffed animals ...
As a little girl.
I gave them names, but most of them I have forgotten and so has everybody else, but I know I did change the names around when I felt like it.

calm down
I was not disrespecting the dolls. I know what they are, and I know they're expensive and handmade, and I know you can get them on the Internet for a couple hundred. I know some people think of them as works of art, and with the high price they're fetching for them, they definitely more art than toy.
However, they're still dolls. If somebody is so attached to a doll and can't bring themselves to change the name they gave it, that is their problem and not mine.
The doll is not real even if it looks real. It doesn't care if it has a different name every week.
And I'd like to know what changing a doll's name has to do with changing your hometown's name. People can't change their town's name as individuals, but they can by popular vote.
You're taking this thing way too seriously.
