Dollieh Sanctuary

I gave my dolls Korean names and I still think it fits them really well, but it's kind of a pain to talk about them because of it. >_>; Partly because it's a little awkward for other people to pronounce, and partly because the names themselves don't sound very good in English. Then I wondered, "What if I gave them 2 names?" I myself have 2 names, one English name and one Korean name, so I wondered if I should maybe do the same for my dolls.

So what do you all think? Would you ever give your doll 2 names?

I don't see why not

Go ahead and give your dolls two names! If it makes sense for you then do it. Most of my dolls have two names because of their backstories or middle names.

It would be no different than giving them nicknames. Some people do have two names, so it's really not unheard of.

3 of my OCs have names that sounded more like a nickname, so they got a 2nd proper sounding name when the became dolls . And 2 of those OCs received another nickname in the process.

I see it no different from giving dolls surnames! And I mean, there are many Asian cultures that have both a traditional name and an English name.

Thank you PopularFizzyDrink, Nella, takahirokumiko, Iwa_Hoshi, and coloredimage! The feedback really helps. I shall give them an easier to pronounce name soon.

Now I just need to think of ones that'll suit them.

I was just going through my dolls' names in my head... and most of them have Asian names anyway! LOL but yes I also often shorten or nick-name them ^_^

Since my dolls have 1 syllable names, I can't really shorten them.

You could shorten it to a single letter
