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.

Sculpts that already have your name?

Oct 1, 2024

    1. Has anyone ever come across a sculpt that shares the same name as you? If so, please share! I share a name with Dream of Doll Sha. While it’s only my nickname, I go by Sha with pretty much everyone I know ^^ although, I’m assuming our names are likely pronounced differently. Does anyone know how dod Sha’s name is pronounced?

      I don’t know how common it is for most people to find a doll that already has the same name as themselves. Does it make you more interested in that doll? For me, I have grown intrigued by Sha :)

    2. Not the same spelling, but iplehouse’s Carina shares a name with me! I do own that head (I’ve had 4 of her, but only one lasted)

    3. I’ve seen sculpts and a company with my sister’s name… Aileen

      I think there’s at least one sculpt I’ve seen with mine too…. Alison

    4. I don't think I've ever seen a doll with my birthname or any of the names I've gone by over the years. I go by August now and the only thing close to it is a Doll Leaves Augus, and I've seen other dealers name it Angus, so I'm not really sure which it's supposed to be.

    5. The closest I've seen would be Christina (mystic kids, dikadoll, doll chateau, take your pick haha) but it's really not close enough to evoke any feelings in me and I am also not interested in any of those sculpts :sweat It's such a common cluster of names, too, so variations don't do it for me I think.

      I never really noticed but when I look at my dolls and wishlist now, I seem to gravitate towards sculpts that don't have "proper" human names in any case - although I certainly would take a second look if I met an exact dolly namesake.

    6. Maskcatdoll Ronia (mine is with a 'j')

      I love their sculpts in general and wouldnt mind adding her in my collection, not only because of the name but it is a very sweet sculpt :)

    7. I've seen a couple with my name, but I have no interest in them. I'm also not a fan of my name, so it wouldn't entice me to buy one.

    8. I've seen one with my name and a couple with my sister's, but all of them have long-since been discontinued.

    9. Fairyland's Sirin is the closest to my name Shirin, even if it's based on the mythological creature!
      It's a cute sculpt, but not to my personal preference. I doubt I'll come to own one.

    10. Ringdoll Julia has my birth name, and Dream Valley Julie has the name I go by. AoD Juli has the name I go by but spelled differently. And Doll Chateau Julianne sort of has my first and middle name all crammed together, but not exactly.

      I don't own any of these sculpts and wouldn't buy them only because of the name, though Julianne is pretty cute. She's not on my current wishlist, but I wouldn't mind owning her!

    11. Minifee Alicia from fairyland, there are a lot of Alices dolls, but FL named her sculpt just like me. Tempt me a lot for add this sculpt to my collection for this reason :3nodding:

    12. I have a doll whose sculpt name is my middle name and it makes me feel a bit...odd. I think I might need to find another name for her. I often keep my dolls' sculpt names as their names unless it really doesn't work for me or modify it slightly (Evander from Evan, Mikoto from Miko).
      I also don't keep sculpt names if they match names of people I know – there's always an association in my brain, for good or bad, even if the doll looks nothing like the person.
      For example, if I got a DearSD Vanessa I'd have to rename her because Vanessa was a name my mum rejected for me, as it reminded her of a nasty child she had to teach!

    13. My given name is Stephanie... just did a google search to see if I could turn up anything and nope!

      My chosen name for most corners of the internet is Juniper, and Luts did come out with a really cute doll called Juniper back in March 2020. Fun!

    14. I had no idea there were BJD Natalie's... Asleep Eidolon, Gem of Doll and Whispering Grass (this head looks like a Natalie Portman doll) all have the name Natalie. Never knew about them until today lol. After looking at each of them, they're not my typical style I collect, so I have no interest in purchasing them.

    16. I am a little surprised to see quite a few with my first name which is Rachel. My middle name is not super common but there are a couple bjd that use it as a sculpt name as well.

    17. I just ordered one with my middle name, Hugh! I loved him at first sight and couldn't say no. He's a Soom Idealian.

    18. Two dolls with my given name from two three (found one more) different companies. As for my nickname Vega (I've been using it for over 20 years), there's Soom MA Vega, and I think at least one other doll from a different company. Having my name and nickname already makes me not keen to own them.

    19. When they make a doll with my name, I hope he will be a beautiful Volks boy so I can have an excuse to buy him :love

    20. The day a doll company uses my name for their sculpt will be the day that pigs fly. I use multiple aliases online now and there's maybe one that could be used, and I might have seen multiple close to it, but no exact matches.
