1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Can anyone help translate the name of this doll? (Doll-Love)

Nov 19, 2009

    1. Hi guys.

      I've just found doll-love.com, and I just fell so hard for one particular doll of theirs, but her name is written in Chinese(?) characters, and I have no idea what it is. (I guess it's not that important, but I'd like to know just in case other people have posted them here.)

      Her page is right here: http://www.doll-love.com/en/productshow.asp?ID=453

      Thank you so much! <33

    3. &#38463;&#33509;&#23068; is pronounced as "Ah-Raw-Na" in Mandarin. A breakdown of the individual chinese characters would mean "like graceful"...

      &#38463; = a prefix infront of names, an endearing way to call people close to you
      &#33509; = seems like/ as if/ similar to
      &#23068; = elegant, graceful


      Hope this helps :)

    5. In Hanyu Pinyin it'll be A Ruo Na.

      /Edit: In an English name it could be Arona, or Ehrona. Just in case you're looking on their English webpage for her sculpt name..?

      She's so pretty :D
