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.

    4. 1. Narcissus, the handsome Greek who died of love looking at his own reflection
      2. Endymion, the handsome Greek prince who was loved by the moon goddess Selene
      3. Adonis, the handsome Greek who was loved by the goddess of love herself, Aphrodite
       
    5. #1 Artemius - Both general of Egypt during the Roman Empire and a saint. I like the name because is a male form of the name Artemis, so it has both masculine and feminine traits.

      #2 Aloysius - German origin, and the meaning of Aloysius is "famous warrior".

      #3 Melkor - From "The Lord of the Rings", means "he who rises in might" in Quenya.
       
    6. 1. Aelin
      2. Ceres
      3. Aurex
       
    7. 1) Roman
      2) Vitaly
      3) Nicky

      I don’t have any particular reasons, they just popped into my head while I looked at him. Gorgeous work!
       
    8. 1) Lem, which is of a Hebrew origin meaning "Belonging to God". Belonging to God indicates a sort of innocence that I think the sculpt embodies. The name is soft but blunt in an honest way, which I think suits the features of the doll's face. I haven't seen this name for a doll anywhere either, so it would be easy to look up the doll sculpt in the future.

      2) Hoenheim, which is the true last name of a famous alchemist who went by the moniker Paracelsus. The name is soft but masculine and rolls off the tongue easily. It reminds me of the word honey and home combined, which suits the doll's face. Hoenheim is a character in Full Metal Alchemist, so there might be some confusion in searching for the doll sculpt.

      Speaking of alchemy-
      3) Rebis, since the sculpt is a wonderful balance of masculine with an effeminate sense of beauty. An aspect of alchemy is studying ultimate forms. One such form is believed to be part man and part woman, otherwise known as a hermaphrodite. An alchemical hermaphrodite is also referred to as a Rebis. The name Rebis reads as a male name, sounding similar to Rhys. It also sounds similar to the word rebus, which is a type of puzzle combining images and words to spell out a sentence (and a rebis is technically an answer to the alchemical puzzle). It is uncommon, and would stand out amongst doll sculpt names. Even without knowing the origin of the name Rebis, it sounds cool and mysterious.

    10. So I know the head is supposed to be male, but it looks like it could make a great woman too, so I concentrated on names that could be used for any gender--

      2. Lyric

      3. Jin (Bright and Beautiful)

    11. 1. Keanu - mainly Hawaiian meaning "the breeze." He reminds me of a picture I saw of "sad Keanu" & I believe he is a beautiful man.
      2. Ambrosius - "Divine." Plus it's Roman.
      3. Wynter - "The coldest month of the year." I choose to spell it with a "y"
