Do you remember what you used to call your dolls - and why?

Jacky. Deborah. Wendy (from Peter Pan). Vicky.

Susan, the first and favourite, Margaret and Betty, baby dolls, Chloe a black doll, Peggy, a celluloid doll who sadly melted in front of the fire, Rosemary a walkie-talkie doll whose long hair I cut, and Elizabeth, a teenage doll, One bear was called Brumas and the other, belonging to my mother I called Rosie. I had a knitted rabbit called Gollyribbit because I was hoping for a gollywog and he came instead.

I hated my dolls and never named them, I had a Sindy doll and made clothes for it on Mums old Singer machine, but never actually played with it.
I loved my Teddy as a child, but just called him Ted, I still have him, plus Little Ted, my brothers Ted and DHs Ted, no proper names though. Don’t know why.....

I wanted a Tressy so badly, I never got one, but I did have Sindy, auburn hair version.
I loved my dolls, I had a Susan, a Louise, a boy doll called Timothy, I wanted to call him Paul, after Paul McCartney, so must have been quite old, but my mum said that was a horrible name.
I had a beautiful doll called Bella, her head fell off and we had to send her to the dolls hospital.

I had a doll I called Margaret for a reason I don't remember. I loved that doll and was very upset when I came home from school one day to find that my 2 year old sister had poked her eyes out! Mum tried to fix her but she was never the same.

My mum got rid of all of my dolls and teddies and also a photo I’d taken of them. I know I had one called Sylvia and one called Margaret. I can cope with not having the dolls but I’d give anything to have that photo!

I had quite a few dolls because my DM used to play with them ? Apart from my Tressy doll I wasn't much interested in them, and lost interest in Tressy once I had cut her hair off and it wouldn't grow any more.

The only doll I really remember was chocolate brown with the most beautiful face. She was named 'Jenny' after my then best friend who was Anglo-African.
