A second name for dolls?

Postby SoapBubbles » Sun Feb 17, 2013 3:05 pm

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?

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. :lol:

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. :D I shall give them an easier to pronounce name soon.

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

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 ^_^

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