S/O What was your Cabbage Patch Doll's name?

[kristenk]

Darlene Eva was blond with blue eyes.

She was actually a precursor to the Cabbage Patch dolls. I think her bum was signed by Xavier Roberts and I had to "formally" adopt her (hand in the air, documents signed) at the small store in the next town over that had the dolls. My mom showed me an article in the paper about them and I saved up birthday money to be able to adopt her.

I need to find her at Mom's house!

I don't remember the koosa. What is that?

Oooooh...I remember the name but can't recall what those were. Off to google images LOL.

Okay, back...the koosas were animals I guess??

Some are kinda freaky looking

I hadn't heard of koosas - they do look creepy!

I had my mom throw a birthday party for her, when she "turned one" according to her "birth certificate" LOL. I had my best friends come over and my mom baked a cake and everything. I think I was 6 or 7.

My names is Lisa and I had a transexual Cabbage Patch Kid.

It wasn't my fault-I swear.

A few years ago, my sis and I were sitting around talking about CPKs, much like this. She recalled a Christmas morning, about 30 years ago- how there were two under the Christmas Tree, and she woke me up excitedly, asking me if I wanted the Preemie or the one w/hair. I, half asleep, said, "w/hair". I basked in the memories of meeting Emily Jennifer for the first time, with her short brown hair and pretty pink dress.

My mom, sitting nearby, busted out laughing.

"So you never figured out that you really had a boy?" Umm...whaaa? Gears in my brain began turning, my world began to spin. Wait, the birth certificate: CARTER ULYSSES! Noooooo!

Somehow I felt betrayed, yet, admittedly, it was pretty hilarious. Apparently, my mom didn't think either of us would be as pleased w/ a male doll so she bought a dress, carefully took Carter out, changed & reboxed him and the rest is history. I vaguely remember asking about the name, never having heard it before, and her pretty much saying something generic like, "You know you can change the name. What do want to change it to?" Good ol' mom w/the redirection.

I generally think of myself as a very tolerant, accepting person. Maybe that's thanks to Carter.

That stuff is so much funnier once you have kids and realize the effort that took!!!

I just emailed my sister and asked her. Her dolls were-


The boy was Paxton Cliff.

The girl was Nora Claire.

Robina Jacklyn. I didn't care for the name, but I didn't feel like it was right to rename her, so she stayed Robina.

Gason Emil must have been French or something, I called him Emil and he was bald.
Arlo Wilson had brown hair, I called him Willie.

Both of mine were boys but my Grandma and her sister both waited in long lines for them and although they wanted to get me girls I loved them to pieces!
