Re: so did I, and ...
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.
