HelpRe: Names for my Cabbage Patch Kids
in reply to a message by bibliocat
I'd be interested in hearing their original name combos. Mine was named Bernadette Eloise
These stood out the most... Good and bad...
Theia Dora - ??? Really? Just stick with Theodora
Sophie Melinda - don't normally like Sophie but it's nice here
Charlotte Imogen - lovely
Jolyon Daniel - I'd nearly forgotten about Jolyon! It's so handsome
Sybil Christina - Christina does a lot to brighten up stern Sybil
Mikkayla Dinah - when Dinah is in the middle it makes the combo sound like a restaurant to me: "Mikkayla's Diner." Hate that spelling of Michaela but not sure which one is actually best.
Olivia June - I want to like it, but all I can see/hear is "olive juice"
Angus Russell - I don't like the repeated "us" sounds but I am getting a kick out of the image- a cabbage patch doll named Angus- it just seems so counter-intuitive :)
Jasmine Kiara - this one is just SCREAMING "Disney princess"
Danielle Georgiana - I've been liking Danielle more lately and am trying to shake the 90s vibe I get from it. Georgiana makes it really posh
Piper Jamie - I'm not sure if this is a boy or a girl.
Bonnie Alba - how very Scottish. I like the flow
Athena Daphne - verging on a little too cool/self-conscious but it's a nice combo
Lucy Helen - lovely

Wow! Thanks so much for the lovely response! You have given me lots to think about. I'd love to know what their original names were as well. Almost everyone had lost their original, so I had to give them new names. Heidi, Amy, and Edwina were the only ones who have their original name. Alison Shimona Jayne was Monna Jayne originally. I didn't care for the name Monna, so I tweaked it a little, and made it her middle name. Plus, I had to have an Alison somewhere, and it does suit her!
I thought Theia Dora was clever. I wanted both a Theia and a Theodora, so I decided to split the name up. Of course, if she was Theodora, she could just get called Theia.
I've always loved the name Jolyon, ever since I heard it in Forsyte Saga. It's an old name too I think.
I think Sybil is a cute name. Of course, it makes me think of Lady Sybil Crawley in Downton Abbey.
You have a point about Mikkayla's middle name. I was actually considering changing it. Olivia's middle name isn't great either. Your comment was funny! Olive Juice! Earlier today in fact, I was thinking of changing it.
As for Angus, the name looks really cute on him. I don't know why I chose that name. I guess I was thinking of Scottish names.
Jasmine Kiara is usually called Jessie. I hadn't even thought of the Disney Princess thing. It's funny, because I see her more as a tomboy. LOL
Piper Jamie is a girl. I used Piper as a middle name for one of my earlier Kids, and liked it, so I used it again as a first name for her.
Bonnie Alba is Scottish for "Beautiful Scotland". I wanted a very Scottish name for her.
