American Girl Doll 2013

FrecklesInside

American Girl comes out with a new doll each year. This year's doll? Saige. Yup. Not Sage. No, no. Saige. Why???

Don't like the name either way it's spelled ... yuck.

Well, these are not the AG dolls I grew up with, that's for sure. It's sad and embarrassing that purposely misspelling names has actually become a trend. I miss Felicity, Samantha, and Kirsten!

Pardon my ignorance if I'm wrong, but aren't these dolls named after real girls?

The "Girl of the Year Doll" (like Saige) is named after/inspired by a real girl, I believe.

I can't believe how many new dolls they have-when I was growing up there was Felicity, Kirsten, Samantha, and Molly although I remember them introducing Addy.

I still have Samantha, but they have to keep up with the market.
