Every doll I had was Victoria or Elizabeth. No nicknames, my dolls were all formal

Oo yes! I don’t think my preferences changed much as I actually did go for mythological names in adulthood, which a friend from primary school found very fitting 😂🙈

My dolls were Victoria, Louisa, Jessica and Donna - favourites at the time.

As a teen I went to visit an older friend at University. Her flatmate was Janelle, a French student. I thought it so beautiful and at the time ‘exotic’!

I still have a list in the attic of names I liked that I wrote when I was about 12 😂 I remember Courtney was on there, and I think I also liked Tiffany for awhile...Very 90s!

DD1's name isn't on there, but I know I liked it when I was younger, as I have a picture I drew of a baby with her name written underneath 🥰

My tiny tears doll was called Angela so that must have been a favourite at one point. I also liked names from book characters and Katy ( from the what Katy did series) remains a favourite name.
