Wow, thanks so much for the responses, ladies! You all have such lovely dolls (with such great names!).

Vertefae, I love the name Ophelia, although Opium does suit her Smile

Spaz, Kimi is so cute, and I love the name Fallon O'Hara it really suits her (and it reminds me of my friend Fallon, who is a bit on the wild side with awesome hair).

Nina, Veruca is really cute, and I immediately thought of Veruca Salt/Charlie & the Choc Factory when I heard it!

Jupi, I love the backstory for Jazz, and it really fits her!

I have decided that I really favor old-fashioned names for them, but I can't decide if their names should be from Greek mythology (Persephone, Penelope, or Echo), or if I should go with slightly more recent European names (possibly Gretchen, Genevieve, or Lorelei).

I think so far Gretchen is in the running for Riletto's new name, but I can't decide on any of them for Cheshire Cat. I really like the back-stories for the names Persephone (only allowed to come to earth for specific times of the year; her coming is said to signal the start of spring), and Echo (a nymph who was unable to speak except when repeating the words of others; she fell in love with Narcissus but her love was unrequited and she pined away for him alone until nothing was left of her but her voice), and also Lorelei (like Echo, she was in love with a man who didn't love her back; legend says she committed suicide by jumping off a large rock into the Rhine River, and today she lures men to their death at the same spot). The story of Penelope is also interesting, too (in the Odyssey, she faithfully waits over 20 years for her husband until he finally returns).

I will just have to wait until they arrive (probably in 3-4 days *crosses fingers*) to finalize their names and see what really suits them! Thanks so much for the help and input everyone Hug

I re named my girls! Neo noir now is Ava adore, and Xiao fan is Kami.



I though in their names looking at her faces, expressions... I think that it help to name a Pullip. Everyone of us re name them because we want to give them our touch Smile Every Pullip has a great and unique personality.

I have to name mine when they arrive and I can spend some time with them. My BNP is named Eilynn and my Craziia is Beth. With ponies I usually try to keep their Hasbro names but some of them end up with other names cause I cannot remember the name they came with Wink

ani_lhuna, Ava Adore is a pretty name.. and ironically, I was *just* listening to that song a couple days ago thinking that would make a great Pullip name Poke Tounge I have Sirius, so it displays the song name.. and it just looked so pretty. And you chose the perfect girl for that name!

Yes, I love that song, and I thought it will be a great name for Neo noir, just perfect!

I have the name of my next Pullip Aquel or Blanche. I t would be Isobel :), because it sounds so sweet, such as them.

Isobel is a great song of Bjork.
