My rule of thumb is that, if the name isn’t sticking or I’m constantly calling them something else, it’s the wrong name! I also remind myself that there’s nothing wrong with the names AG has chosen and sometimes it just suits the doll best.
I,too, watch the utube baby names videos. If I hear some I like, I write it on an index car, and keep with my doll things. . Whenever I get a new doll, I look at the list and see what suits my new girl. Saves time and "stress", not waiting until after she arrives.
I do the same thing lol. I write books, and that’s how I name the characters in my books. I’ll probably do the same thing when I collect more dolls. I only have three so far since I just got back into collecting. Love your channel by the way Emma.
Your dolls are so special! I really love Elettes name, too!😄 I try to vary the face molds in my collection, also. Recently, I purchased Corrine and changed her wig. (long wavy dark brown with lighter brown ends) I call her Raven. Her mold (face) is REALLY gorgeous without her old hair! I have Jess, but I'm one of the minority who isn't crazy about the mold.( probably my least fav.) I believe I finally reached my limit of dolls at thirty, and will never get #4 and have all the molds. Thank you for sharing how you named your dolls; I find it really interesting. Such a fun part of getting new dolls! I hope you find a Jess mold you fall in love with real soon!!❤ Can't wait to meet your #21 when she joins the family! FYI: I take antihistamines everyday, and for me, it seems to prevent migrains from coming on. If they do, they're way less severe than before. Migrains are the worst! I know how you feel-would even vomit! 🤮 Be better!
As i child i never really noticed the face molds. I knew they existed but they just didn’t mean that much to me. I like having a good variety now for diversity in my collection! I’m bland and my favorite mold is definitely the classic mold. I blame Mia🤣 I’m a sucker for classic molds with red hair and green eyes because of her. I would own them all if I could! I don’t know what my least favorite mold would be. They are all pretty even after the classic. I would love a #4, but the collector in me wants her just like most collectors out there! I think of I got her I wouldn’t really connect with her unfortunately. With my migraines, I think I have figured out my problem. It’s my eyes! I stared wearing my glasses like 90% of the day and they were gone. I’m getting contacts because I really don’t like wearing my glasses🤣
Great video! I hadn’t really thought about it but this is an interesting topic. This makes me want to write down all my dolls and remember how they got their names (if I named them). Fun!
I have such a weird memory but it’s very selective. And something I never forget is my dolls! I love sharing all my stories behind them. You definitely should write them down and recall where their names are from!!
I’m kind of like you with picking out dolls! I mainly have truly me dolls but some GOTY; as well as some historical. I name my dolls based off of my baby name list and sometimes family names. I love all your doll’s names! I love Pharris as a name because of the book Fahrenheit 451.
I had to read Fahrenheit 451 in high school! I didn’t actually read it though I used cliffsnotes🙃🙃 I don’t remember any of the book though so it’s interesting to know that’s a name of a character
@@nowandforeverag oh haha it is not a name of a character! Pharris just reminds me of Fahrenheit! there are many books i was “supposed” to read in high school i did not so i get that!
This video topic has been on my "to film" list for a long time. One day I swear I'll get to it. I really enjoyed both your and Ally's videos as it's always interesting to get insight into other ppl's naming process. I hope you're feeling much better. Also, not to talk medical conditions in the comments section of an agtube video, but feverfew is an herbal supplement worth looking into (studies done by the London Migraine Institute address its effectiveness). Also, I've done Imitrex but now take Rizatriptan on an as-needed basis. Migraines suck.
Definitely a video you should do! I love sharing my stories so this was so fun for me. I also enjoy hearing peoples naming processes. I like that we all have our own unique way! And with the migraines, I think I have it narrowed down to my eyes. I need to wear my glasses more, if not all the time. I hate wearing them though so I’ll have to get contacts🙃
I love those names so much and that most of names are from stuff you love. I name my new truly me dolls after movie and book characters I love that why they have a story. I’ve been a huge reader since I was a kid so ag having books with the historical dolls is what made me fall in love with history and I also keep all of my character dolls the name ag gave them. Mostly because I never get the dolls when their released so I get used to reading and saying their names. One of my dolls is named after a singer I love mostly because it was similar to the dolls original name and I renamed her because she’s was my second one of that doll.
That’s a great way to get doll names! I’m not too much of a reader. I tend to just re-read the same books over and over again. I could totally see myself using a name from one of my favorite books though!
That's sooo cute i always wondered how you named your TM dolls. And as for June. I would just say her name a MILLION times. Like "hi June, yass June, what's June gonna wear" i FEEL l have never renamed a doll my autistic brain is like "🧠🤔 that's allowed?!" 😂😂😂😂
Junes name is no longer June. It’s Blaire. I’ve just given up😭 I have nothing against the name Blaire I was just trying to be different with her, but it obviously wasn’t working😭🤣
I LOVE that you got Elette’s name from Clueless because it’s also my favorite movie, and I too have a doll named June, my 117! I haven’t renamed any character dolls so far, but if the twins coming out next month really end up being named Nicki and Isabel I think I’ll have to, because I have a feeling I’m going to want them and I just bought Nicki Fleming so I can’t have two nickies! Especially because I don’t particularly like that name, lol. My middle name is Nicole and I’ve never been that fond of it.
It’s such a minor part and name in the movie but ever since I was a kid that name has stuck with me! It’s so random but i love it. I’m excited for the twins release, but i hope their names aren’t actually Nicki and Isabel. American Girl can come up with new names! I think a lot of people will rename them
Your dolls are so pretty! We dont have american girls here, but some people sell them online and sometimes I feel tempted to buy (but I dont cause it feels like it will be going down into the rabbit hole)
Thank you! It’s definitely a rabbit hole and an expensive hobby. They are very fun to have though and I truly enjoy collecting them! If you ever decide to get a doll you’ll have to share who you got!
I would suggest writing your doll's name really big on an index card (just because they're thick and will stand up) and placing the card in front of the doll. Then, whenever you walk by the doll, say her name and look at the card. I think seeing the name and saying the name at the same time will help it stick. I hope that helps! When I know I have a new doll coming, I look everywhere for names and try them out (to see if I like how they sound). I look up their meanings on-line and if I like the meaning, I write it down with the meaning and then try to pair it with other names I like for first and middle. Sometimes names come quickly, sometimes they take a long time, but I do enjoy the process and think about names constantly while I'm in the decision stage. Great video, as usual. Thanks for sharing!!
That’s a really good suggestion with helping the name to stick! I’ve kind of given up with “June” and I’m sticking with Blaire. It just suits her so much better. I like the idea you have about the meanings of the names! I never even thought about that
@@nowandforeverag Commenting on someone else's post about possibly naming a doll Orchid, someone mentioned that although it's a pretty name, it really means testicles. Oh, my. Yes, finding out the meaning is a good extra step. :) But I think you could certainly call her Blaire June, just like Loretta Saige (or Saige Loretta?). Or even Blaire Juniper, if you wanted something longer.
I really enjoy your videos but, I have a hard time hearing you. I find myself turning up the volume pretty high in order to hear you. But like I said earlier, love the vids and keep up the good work 💕
I think since this video I’ve fixed this issue. I did a pile earlier in the year asking about some things I need to improve on and this was a big thing! I think my phone just has a really hard time picking up my voice. I’m about to get one of those microphones that clip onto your shirt🤣 thank you for the feedback!
My rule of thumb is that, if the name isn’t sticking or I’m constantly calling them something else, it’s the wrong name! I also remind myself that there’s nothing wrong with the names AG has chosen and sometimes it just suits the doll best.
You are 100% correct and i really appreciate that advice! Maybe June isn’t her name and she is destined to be Blaire forever, and that’s okay!
I'm glad my video inspired you! Very fun to hear the stories behind your dolls' names
You know me, I have tons of stories🤣 thanks for inspiring me to make my video better🤣

Great idea! I usually try to name my dolls before I get them as well because you’re right, it IS stressful!🤣
I do the same with going to baby name websites cause I can never decide what I want😂I love how you got Ellet’s name that’s so interesting! ❤️
Baby names websites are a sun when it comes to naming dolls. I’ve found that sooo many people use them
I do the same thing lol. I write books, and that’s how I name the characters in my books. I’ll probably do the same thing when I collect more dolls. I only have three so far since I just got back into collecting. Love your channel by the way Emma.

Great video, I have a few dolls which are unnamed and I need to name them. Going straight to baby name websites right now 💖
They are truly a life saver🤣

Love this insight! It’s pretty much the same as choosing a human child’s name! Much thought required. Just subscribed! Xo Dolly & Millie
Thanks for subscribing! I’m so glad you’re here❤️
i would LOVE a rewig video. i recently antiqued a pleasant company molly and she needs a new wig soooo bad
I will definitely have one up in the next couple months! I plan on rewigging my 23, i just have to find the right wig!

What method did you use to recurl Reagan's hair?
A video from The Doll Studio by Kris! If you look up his channel it should be there😊
