Help me name this resin doll
I’m running a bit late with the photo shoot of the first resin dolls, but it should wrap up tomorrow.
In the meantime, help me name this pretty doll. I’d love to hear your suggestions on what she should be called.

Sulamith?
Dein goldenes Haar Margarete
Dein aschenes Haar Sulamith.
From the poem “Todesfuge” by Paul Celan. She reminds me of it.
September 29th, 2012 11:30
ÐаÑÑ‚Ñ?
как на Ñчет того, чтобы назвать их руÑÑкими именами?:)
Nastya?
i suggest russian names for all 20 dolls))))
September 29th, 2012 11:30
Selene and Amelia are the first two names that came to my mind when looking at her. Emily and Sarah also came to mind later.
September 29th, 2012 11:31
Said this on Twitter, but repeating it here:
Amalthea, like the character in “The Last Unicorn”
September 29th, 2012 11:31
(Anahita)?
It means the goddess of the sun.
September 29th, 2012 11:32
She is stunning. I am not so clever with giving names to the dolls. All i see, that she is utterly beautiful and very ethereal. If she would have a raven black hair, i might call her a Snow White.
But i would be happy with any name for her.
September 29th, 2012 11:32
Zsa Zsa ?
Seems like a fitting name ^_^
September 29th, 2012 11:34
Marina,as you have one lady named for gold,how about one named for silver? I believe that’s Serebo in Russian.whatever you choose she’s truly beautiful,can’t wait to see more of her sisters
September 29th, 2012 11:34
“Erine” I think this name good for her look.
September 29th, 2012 11:35
She looks so gloomy and sweet. I think she sould be named Lenore
September 29th, 2012 11:35
Lilith or Luna
September 29th, 2012 11:35
-Sigrún.
-Libélula (dragonfly in spanish)
-Nimrodel (a lost Elf maiden from a story from JRRTolkien)
September 29th, 2012 11:35
Actually i looked for some names for her.
Anais-Pure, Surie-rose/lilly, Vardis-a rose, Vesper-evening. I love the name Vesper.
September 29th, 2012 11:36
She’s gorgeous.
Hm, my suggestion would be something as simple as Eve. Her sorrowful expression and the silver white hair brings my thoughts to the very moment that Adam and Eve were banished from Eden.
September 29th, 2012 11:37
A Turkish Name is ‘Akmer’ means white and pure like the moon
September 29th, 2012 11:37
What’s Russian for “Mine” ???
She’s stunning! And I couldn’t be happier for you and your resin endeavor. I know it might have felt like pushing a boulder uphill but you’re here and they’re magnificent.
September 29th, 2012 11:38
I like me the doll be called “Suri” or “Saeki”, because has a pretty oriental eyes and her lips are little and beauty. Xoxo
September 29th, 2012 11:39
Alina, it just came to my mind.
Calle says: Flora
she is very beautiful!
September 29th, 2012 11:39
Ðазовите её ДарьÑ. Мне кажетÑÑ, Ð´Ð»Ñ Ñ‚Ð°ÐºÐ¾Ð¹ нежной куклы, подходит Ñто Ñильное Ð¸Ð¼Ñ Ñ‚Ð°Ðº как оно её дополнÑет
September 29th, 2012 11:40
I believe that she is called Nephele, a cloud nymph in greek mythology.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephele
September 29th, 2012 11:40
Elena, Lenora or Helena, all are very nice names
September 29th, 2012 11:42
Марина, здравÑтвуй!
О!СчаÑтливый день!!!!!
Предлагаю имÑ- Ева.
September 29th, 2012 11:42
Odette!
September 29th, 2012 11:43
I would name her Lux. Such a beauty.
September 29th, 2012 11:44
I’m feeling Elena
September 29th, 2012 11:45
Aglaya
Laurel
Cirilla
September 29th, 2012 11:45
The first thing that called my attention was her paleness, so I thought of Snowdrop like the flower. But I think she needs a more interesting name, something like Gala
September 29th, 2012 11:45
How about Blanche…?
I don’t comment often but I read your blog ‘daily’ and have got one of your first edition books… Love your enchanted dolls and can’t wait for more details on your resin collection!
September 29th, 2012 11:45
The only word that is coming to my thoughts are Precious and Desire Pearl. This is how my heart feels at this moment….I so desire to hold such a precious work of art and call her my own….
Good lord Marina she is stunning!
September 29th, 2012 11:46
Elena
She is so ethereal and subtle…
September 29th, 2012 11:48
Name her Taybele (in russian its Тойбеле) after Isaac Singer’s “Taybele and Her Demonâ€. She is kinda sad…
September 29th, 2012 11:48
Oh, I love the names that have been suggested here. She is truly a wonderful doll. What an expressive, wistful face. My favorites of the ones suggested are Amalthea, Lilith, Eve, and Nephele.
September 29th, 2012 11:50
I suggest Cornelia, Edelweiss, Elaine, Alianora and Evyndur.
September 29th, 2012 11:55
Amber :3 or Ambre in french
September 29th, 2012 11:56
I would like to second (or third) the nomination for Amalthea! She definitely reminds me of the character from The Last Unicorn!
September 29th, 2012 11:57
btw, Marina
what size of eyes you are using for these?
6mm or 8mm?
September 29th, 2012 11:58
She looks like a Sophia to me…
September 29th, 2012 11:58
Ariadne… or perhaps Maeve? Willow was actually the first name that popped into my head when I saw her.
September 29th, 2012 11:59
My suggestion is Isabeau. She’s so beautiful and soft.
September 29th, 2012 12:00
ANAEL -this name of angel,she is beautiful and delicate how angel…
September 29th, 2012 12:00

It looks almost exactly like my girlfriend Kayla…
Not sure if that name is unique enough but to me it’s Kayla.
September 29th, 2012 12:08
Sand is the name that immediately came to my mind when I saw your beautiful doll, but don’t ask me why !
September 29th, 2012 12:09
Henrietta !
September 29th, 2012 12:17
Maimoona ^_^
September 29th, 2012 12:17
Love the wig! It’s so wonderful with the face. Maybe Aurora? The wig reminds me of aurora borealis.
September 29th, 2012 12:18
She looks like an Ophelia to me. Something wistful about her and she looks miserable yet so beautiful
September 29th, 2012 12:18
I see her and I think Evangeline. Not sure why
She’s a beauty though!
September 29th, 2012 12:19
Sasha came to my mind.
September 29th, 2012 12:20
I wonder…
How much copy of her you go to have?
That tempts to crack for this little girl !
September 29th, 2012 12:21
Adeline or Ersatz
September 29th, 2012 12:22
Are you changing the name Vega?
‘Suriele’ comes to mind~
September 29th, 2012 12:31
She has very beautiful sorrow face, in Indonesia we have story about beautiful girl who has step mother and very pain life. She remains me of that story. So I would love to give her a name †Anandaâ€. That’s mean the most lovely daughter
.
September 29th, 2012 12:32
Oh!..1) Cassiopeia, 2) Andromeda, 3) Vega
How about Phoebe or Virgo then?
September 29th, 2012 12:36
Elodie
September 29th, 2012 12:40
I like Aurelia… I wish we knew more about these girls! I want to know if there is a chance I could own one….
September 29th, 2012 12:43
Hello, Marina this doll is so beautiful!
What about Amelia?
regards,
Nathalie.
September 29th, 2012 12:45
She reminds me of one character out of the book “The Neverending Story”:
“The Childlike Empress”
September 29th, 2012 12:47
Anouk =)
September 29th, 2012 12:50
Angelina
September 29th, 2012 12:52
How about Lucinda?
September 29th, 2012 12:53
Lila
September 29th, 2012 13:07
Thalj– it’s Arabic for “snow”
September 29th, 2012 13:07
So many wonderful names suggested for this exquisite girl! I like Cornelia, as Yuri suggested above… from King Lear; a beautiful daughter, loyal, kind and sad all at once. But if she belonged to me I might name her Angelica, after a doll who was bewitched in one of my favourite books I read as a child ‘The House of the Wind’ by Averil Demuth (and still reread every few years). Good luck choosing!
September 29th, 2012 13:07
She is absolutely gorgeous
September 29th, 2012 13:22
Bianca. She’s lovely!
September 29th, 2012 13:24
Wow, tons of great name ideas on here. A previous commenter had suggested “Ophelia”; I am casting my vote for that! I also read a book a while back called “Mermaid’s Song” and the main character in that was a mermaid named Elan. I imagined her to have the same wistful, sad and sweet beauty as your doll. So I am also suggesting either Elan or Merra.
This is a really great doll, Marina. Clearly you can work your magic on resin as well as porcelain!
September 29th, 2012 13:26
She’s beautiful. I’d call her Rivière, it’s river in French –because of her long, flowing silver hair, which looks like pure mountain water. It’s pronounced REE-vee-ay-r
Or Rêverie, because her expression, while sad, looks also like she’s daydreaming. There’s something soft, pleading, almost hopeful behind the sadness of her red-rimmed eyes. I also think the soft pronunciation suits her: RAY-verh-EE. I think a French name would suit her perfectly, and in both these propositions, I love the soft, purring “r” sounds.
(she makes me think of the Lady of Shallot painting by Waterhouse. I have a reproduction on my desk and under the sadness, I always see something like sweet relief and a quiet longing.)
September 29th, 2012 13:28
Asta
September 29th, 2012 13:35
I like the name Marina!
September 29th, 2012 13:35
Kissa, (1st born daughter) Hassana,(1st born of twins) Minya,(Older sister) Panyin,(1st twin) kato,(2nd twin) Triana,(third born) Liadan (Lee-din) (Irish Gaelic for gay lady) Sage Zuri
I chose these names as twins since they are the first resin copies of the origional porcelain dolls. It seemed apropriate. It also leaves room for a set of “twins” to be born from the new set.
September 29th, 2012 13:35
Waooooooo she is very beautiful!
September 29th, 2012 13:50
Amalthea because she reminds me of the last unicorn:)
September 29th, 2012 14:00
Bijou? Kadmiel?
September 29th, 2012 14:14
Evangeline <3
September 29th, 2012 14:16
you should name her Jasmine.
why?
because her expression is exactly what i’m feeling right now.
September 29th, 2012 14:29
Muireann
Means “sea white, sea fair.†The very appropriate name of the 6th century mermaid caught by a fisherman in Lough Neagh. He brought her to St. Comghall who baptized her which transformed her into a woman.[www.babynamesofireland.com]
September 29th, 2012 14:29
My Suggestion is: Marian.
Like Maid Marian of Robin Hood, just because it looks like she’s gazing out, thinking of her faraway love.
September 29th, 2012 14:39
ФрейÑ
September 29th, 2012 14:40
Cassandra
September 29th, 2012 14:43
i like Ophilia, her look is so sorrowful. i also loved the Last Unicorn when i was a little girl so Amalthea would be great too.
i looked at her and thought of a sea nymph, so maybe something like Lirea.
September 29th, 2012 15:03
I am fan of Eastern-Europian names I realy like Aksana, Alina or Kira, I thing ony of those names would be great for her
September 29th, 2012 15:04
Second look, I don’t want cause offence,but I think I actually like the resin dolls more than the porcelain ones,and there are so many beautiful names here,how to choose!? Glad it’s not me that has to
September 29th, 2012 15:11

September 29th, 2012 15:34

September 29th, 2012 15:53
Nina
September 29th, 2012 16:13

September 29th, 2012 16:26
Shura, Lonna, Veja, Evelisse

September 29th, 2012 16:29
I think she should be called Hope because I think that is what she represents to all of your fans wanted to own an Enchanted doll.
September 29th, 2012 16:39
The first name that exploded through my mind was Rowan.
September 29th, 2012 16:55
Mimosa or frangipani
both are beautiful and rarely seen blooms… beautiful to look at and incredibly fragrant… unforgettable both.
September 29th, 2012 17:00

Althea (I love this one)
Calypso
Thalia
Demeter
Circe (My favourite–I think it suits your doll!)
September 29th, 2012 19:14

Pania – was from Maori mythology, waiting for her lover to return
September 29th, 2012 19:57
Orpha!!!
September 29th, 2012 20:02

September 29th, 2012 20:06
She is everyone’s dream and created in September.
Why not September Dream or just Hope.
September 29th, 2012 20:26
Veina

September 29th, 2012 21:44
Witch.
September 29th, 2012 21:52
“Momento” was the first thing that came to my mind.
September 29th, 2012 21:56
I know the name is too mainstream, but she looks like Daenerys Targaryen from “The song of Ice and Fire” by Martin
September 29th, 2012 22:44
Hi Marina ,
With this girl , I like the name Lullaby !
.. she looks like a child is longing family love .
This name will go in and protection her sleep .
I admire you and your work !

Amaranth
September 29th, 2012 23:42
Alinde or Noomi

September 30th, 2012 00:12
I think the first suggestion, “Sulamith” is spot on.
) The name is beautiful, but I cannot help to see the goat!
BTW, Amalthea in Greek was mythology a name of a goat who suckled Zeus
September 30th, 2012 01:06

Favorites so far are: Sulamith, Ophelia and Elva.
I add Deva (‘god-like, divine’ in Hindi)
Neiva (‘snow’ in Spanish)
and my personal favorite Lumina (‘brilliant light’ in Latin).
She looks like a Lumina to me, a soft melancholy creature filling the world with her mesmerizing light.
September 30th, 2012 02:53
LUNA came to my mind, especially that it is a full moon this weekend
September 30th, 2012 04:16
Monalisa or Ramona
September 30th, 2012 04:18
I would call her Luna…. or Moonlight……
I imagine her sitting in a window at night and looking at the moon……
September 30th, 2012 04:31

I’m not good for giving names though. sorry ^^;;
October 1st, 2012 11:24
First of all, let me say that she’s pure love… I wish I can own one some day… ^_^
About the names, the first one that came to my mind was Ophelia, but then they start to came to my mind names with the warm “A”, as Althea, Amanda, Alma (soul), Arienne… And, of course: Gaia (“Mother Earth” Greek goddess).
Greeting from Spain
October 1st, 2012 13:40
Esther
Euterpe- one of the nine muses
Siren- from greek mythology
Isadora
Freyja/Freya/Freja – from norse mythology who is the goddess of love, beauty, fertility, gold,war, and death
And thats all I can think of right now
October 1st, 2012 14:17
The first thing that pop’ed into to my head was Sorrow, but that isn’t really a fitting name. I think Giselle would be good for her.
October 1st, 2012 14:28
Undine
it is very similar to the spirit of the water element of the tales of the Baltic peoples

as she looks so sorrowful I would have to say ‘Deirdre’ (pronounced “DEAR_DRA” from the celtic fairytale meaning ‘broken-hearted’ or ‘sorrowful’.
October 19th, 2012 06:50
How about Elorinn or Elin?
And she does look like Daenerys
