I had loads of Barbies and I think I gave most of them names but I don't remember any of them. But I had a few other dolls that I remember:
A Holly Hobby doll I named Rebecca....later I changed the spelling to Rebekah once I learned of it.
Porcelin dolls named: Lillian Marguerite, Violet Josephine, Amelia Lynn, Alisa Beth, Samantha Charlotte and Rose Elise.
I still love all of them except Alisa- but I do like Elisa. I had better taste then than I did as a teenager when I liked you-neek names and kre8tive spellings: Rylee was my fave for a girl. Eeep! So glad I grew out of that phase.
Re: What did you name your toys or dolls as a child?

My aunt named my first doll Patty Poo Poo (my aunt was, like, 14 - obvi). It stuck and I had Patty Poo Poo for many years.
My Barbies were usually "cool" 80s names. Stacy, Tracy, Casey, and Macy were my faves and I thought it would be SO neat to name my daughters that one day. Yikes.

I remember having pre-named dolls: random twins, Grace and Lorelei, and my Cabbage Patch Doll -- Estelle Joy Vita.
I had a boy doll I named Ryan. All my animals I named after food: Cookie, Ginger, Oreo, Cottage cheese. I had 2 cabbage patch kids when I was 3 that I named Tiffany and Susie.
My sister had more dolls, her favourite was Michelle.
I called my baby blanket Henry. Still have it in my cedar chest.
Ironically, that's DH's middle name, and now our son's middle name, too. Eerie, considering Henry was not popular at all when I was a kid, like it is now.
I named my pet fish Donna and Michelle.
I had a doll I named Honey Bun. LOL
I also had an Anne and a Fiona.
My sister had an imaginary friend named Fanny.

I had a "homemade" cabbage patch doll I named Lisa and a favorite stuffed elephant named Betsy. My barbies were usually Nina or Lydia. I remember one of my friends complaining that Lydia was too weird and she couldn't pronounce it.
My sister & I only had one Ken doll, so he was almost always Ken. I think we used Luke a couple times (from Star Wars).
I had a stuffed dog named Pepito and another one named Trudy (later on I also named a real dog Trudy)
The barbies changed names everytime we played with them, I would usually name them Mariana, Marina, Cristal, Barbara...
