Giveaway - Miss Kokeshi needs a name!

Please help me!

I need some new names. I have been so busy making Kokeshi and Mei-Ling inspired Maisie dolls that I am struggling to find new names.

So, it is time for a giveaway.

You will be in the running for your very own custom made Kokeshi doll. You get to pick the dress colour scheme and hair style. I will then make your doll to your specifications, wrap her up and post her anywhere in the world.

Simply leave a comment with a sweet Asian name suitable for my Kokeshi dolls, before Sunday 16 August 2009. I will randomly draw a winner soon after this date.

Entry is open world-wide.

Please enter only once. Each name must be unique - read through the comments to make sure your name is unique to the list.

Names which I have already used include:
Mei-Ling, Pei-Ling, Mei-Mei, Ki-Ki, Kiki, Mo-Mo, Go-Go, Sachi, Tiki, Chi-Chi, Su-Su, Suki and Ting-Ting.

Good luck...and tell all your friends!

P.S - check out the sale in my Etsy store starting Thursday 6 August 2009 - Saturday 15 August 2009.

ohhh its just like naming a new baby -
how about Kayo, its the name of a beautiful Japanese exchange student that stayed with my best friends family way back when we were in high school!
Meaning:
Beautiful generation

sounds perfect for one of your beautiful dolls!

My suggestion is Mayumi. It is my sister in law's name and it means true beauty, which I think is very applicable to your gorgeous dolls...:-)Tina

[glennie]

I'd like to suggest the name Sayuri. This was the name of a Japanese exchange student who stayed with me a long time ago. Good luck!

[Miriam]

How about Po ?It doesn't look like much but I like the way it sounds !

[Kathleen]

Oh, I want to try.

What about Sakura (cherry blossom),
Ai-chan (Love), or Yuki-chan (snow).
Is there a limit to how many names can be suggested?

[Catherine]

I don't mind how many names you suggest, but as long as they are all posted in the one comment.

The names so far are fabulous. I particularly love how the meanings of names are given too.

Looks like I will have a lot of Kokeshis to make.

I'd like to second Po, espieciall since you were a Master chef fan. Other than that Su-Yi has popped into my head. I have no idea where from, but I think it sounds pretty. I love your Kokeshi's

[ali]

These are so sweet Catherine!! I like the name Aki - it means 'autumn', but also 'bright' in Japanese - I think these little cuties are very bright ;)

[Casey]

Adorable dolls!!

My daughter's Chinese name is Mei-Lin... but I think that may be too close to Mei-Ling, which you already have, so I'll vote for Lin-Lin (pronounced Lane Lane) - her nickname. Thanks!!

[Rebecca]

They are so cute!!! My suggestions is Kumiko, one of my good friend's name.

[Chris aka littlechrissy]

I'm suggesting Mihoko after one of my friends. She is almost as sweet as these dolls :-)

[Chrisy]

Asami, a Japanese name meaning 'beautiful linen' I think would be just perfect for one of your dollies!

[Account Deleted]

These little dolls are gorgeous Catherine!

My name suggestions, I love 'A' names -
Akina - spring flower
Amaya - night rain

[icantsew]

Your dolls are just so cute. I like the name Aiko. It means little loved one which is what your dolls will be. I also think the name Suki would be nice, it means beloved.

[Rachel]

oops, I overlooked that you had already used Suki.

[Danielle]

Hmmmm - I suggest Kameko, after an exchange student we had. I also like Aiko (beloved), Hana (flower) and Haru (spring)

Hana flower
Haru Japanese "spring."
Kameko Japanese "turtle child." In Japan, the turtle is ..

[Nay Nay]

Hazuki = month of August
Akika
Haruna

Just some of my Japanese students names

[Em]

Kohana - means little flower

xEm

[Emma]

My suggestion is: "Keiko". It means "adored one" in Japanese, which I thought was very appropriate!!

[bec]

So cute! i love the name Umeko - meaning child blossom tree.

[Ammie]

I like the name Hatsuho, for a friend. It means first fruits, which is a sweet name for someone's first Kokeshi. :) Plus, my friend is beautiful inside and out.

[Bec]

Hmmm, I'm possibly too late for this (have been living it up at a romantic weekend getaway and just got back:)) but if not, my name suggestion is Nanami. Just because I like the way it sounds :) Japanese names can be so beautiful can't they!!

I like LILING, (and it fits perfect with Mei-Ling and Pei-Ling :o))
These dolls are too cute!
