50 Cute Doll Names

What do you think of a name that is for someone little, like MiMi, Goldie or even Valentina?

Perhaps you can use a name from the lists in my article? Vicky, Patsy, or Valentina sound nice.

Betty sounds nice for a cow doll. Perhaps Petal, or some other pretty sounding name?

If he’s a little boy doll, he needs a little boy name, perhaps something like Pino, or Piccolo or Benji, or Reece.

That’s a big question, as big as America! You mean USA don’t you? I’ll presume that. There are very many ethnicities in the USA with names from the origins and cultures of all of them, so where to begin? I think I’d look at the names of early movie stars and famous movie stars like Marilyn (Monroe), or Jayne (Mansfield), Theresa (Harris) and recent female movie stars like Scarlett (Johansson), Halle (Berry), or Natalie Portman. They all have incredible names.

That name sounds cute for a baby doll. A Princess too! Princess Twinky is very pretty.

It is a beautiful name for a very particular doll, I agree!

Perhaps one of these ‘on the sweet side’ names: Trudy, Belinda, DiDi, Patsy.

Probably a name that’s particularly Chinese sounding, at least to Western ears. Even the name ‘China’ is lovely I think. Camelia is a Chinese flower, so that’s an appropriate name. Lily in Chinese sounds like Bai Hé so that’s nice too.

I’m not at all sure because I don’t know your dolly but sweet names like Luisa, Daisy, Lucy, and even Ava if you want a slightly more sophisticated name.

A name from 100 years ago! Victoria, Emma, Helena, Caroline; a name that sounds lovely through time and hasn’t really become ‘old fashioned’.

A ‘little’ name? You might like one of these Bee, Ava, Joy, Kay, Flo, Didi. I hope one of them suits your doll.

I’d suggest one of the names that I’ve already mentioned in my article. Why not try reading them out loud to your doll, one at a time? Perhaps one name will pop out as just the right one. It’s the sound of a name that goes with the personality of the doll.

I’ve always loved ‘Teddy’ (which is short for Edward. Teddy isn’t a doll though. Teddy is a Teddy. And Teddy has the softest name in the world. My brother called his Sooky. That’s nice! Totally different too is Shaun or Shauny.

I think lots of dolls are ‘one of a kind’ dolls, just as their owners are ‘one of a kind’, but that’s just my opinion. Your doll obviously needs a very original name, a name nobody has heard of before so why not take all the letters of the alphabet and without looking, put your finger on a letter? That’s the first letter. Then do that again, and again until you have done that 10 times. Someone can help you. Once you have your letters I think you will see an idea. I got Morgana, then, Zaviera, Xara, Plume.

You don’t need to use all the letters, just the ones that create a name.

Thumbelina is a pretty name for a baby doll! Bambina is pretty too. I also like Tina.

Shanon!

I think Blair is a strong-personality name for a very important kind of girl doll, the Amaranth girl doll! What a personality and what a perfect name for her. Not every doll can be called Blair for sure.

Your Elsa doll might have an Italian name like Francesca, or Serena, or Enrica or even Ginevra?

Because she has curly hair, she is quite different. I think Hazel is a pretty name for your curly-haired doll! I hope you like it too.

A baby name like Babà or Tiny or Ninna, I think. She’s so little and endearing. Not sure she wants a ‘great’ name unless the name she has is just ‘Great’ for her. Would Greta be a ‘Great’ name I wonder?

A regal, historic name such as Antoinette, Constantina, Pia, or a white, perfumed flower name such as Gelsomina (Jasmine). I hope these suggestions help you find your porcelain doll’s name.

Tinkerbell was small and that’s a pretty name. Gretel is nice too (from the ‘Hansel and Gretel’ fairy tale) and so is Crystal. Hope you find her name. It feels so right when it’s right.

Algay, Pepita, Leisha these names came to mind for your green doll.

I think Thumbelina, who was a fairy!

A name that you feel ‘sounds’ like your doll is right for your doll. And for you! That beautiful name came to you for her, so she is Tewaniya? It’s a lovely name for your baby alive doll. Sounds like you’re talking to her already.

Bette, Miriam, Ginger were the names of some of the famous movie stars in the 1930s and I think they’re evocative, beautiful names for a girl who lived then.

A name from far away like Laila or a Biblical name like Miriam (because it’s an ancient, meaningful name), or I like Babs. Babs is affectionate for Baby!

Of course Kyle is a good name for your doll because you chose this very name out of hundreds of names. Kyle pops out at you! Kyle it is. Very nice.

Leisha would be perfect because of the sh sh sh sound which goes with the shshsh sound of long hair, Leisha.

Cindy! From the name Cinderella. Cinderella, in the fairy tale, had to do all the work for her wicked stepmother and stepsisters - including baking and keeping the fires going. I’m sure she was a great cake maker! Doesn’t Cindy sound great?

Skip, or Toby, or even Brad.

Vicky, Vanessa, Victoria, Viola, Vivienne, Vivian, Violet, Vera, Vee, Verity; they are all nice names. I like Verity the most for a Barbie doll I think. Hope you see a name you really, really like.

Nell - from Nell Gwyn whose rags-to-riches fame in the 17th century was fantastic. Nell was an actress, a funny, pretty one who became King Charles 11 of England’s mistress. It’s a perfect name for a soft rag doll and I hope you like it.

Perhaps Dolly is the most common name. Dolly is a sweet, endearing name that suits all dolls.

A beautiful name, I agree.

Betty is a cute and simple name you might like for your doll. Ava is pretty cute too, so is Gina. I hope one of these names really suits you both.

I’m trying to imagine a medium-size teddy and I see a comfortable sort of size, so then I see a teddy called Chadwick, or is he Kensington? If you prefer a shorter version of those comfortable sounding names, your teddy could be Chad or Kenny.
