I am having a "situation" with my girls, and being relatively new to having AG dolls, would appreciate input.
I keep reading on this board about how dolls are being renamed, and discovering their personalities, and I'm just kind of going, uh huh, yeah, ok, but not really getting it, until recently that is. Allow me to explain.
I started out Xmas 2005 with an AGOT, blond hair with bangs and green eyes. I was so excited to finally have an AG doll, and I had it all planned, I would name her Jennie. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Well, as I was dressing her in one of her new outfits on Xmas day, she informed me that there must be some mistake, her name was Katie, short for Kaitlin. Ok, I could handle that. Katie it was, and has been since. Last week, I got a PM Kirsten off ebay, and anxiously awaited her arrival. Immediately upon coming out of her box, she demanded her perfect braids be undone and said "Please do my hair like Katie's, we are fraternal twins. And by the way, I prefer Kirstie to Kirsten."

I guess I can live with that, I mean, they are fraternal twins, not identical, and are not picky about wearing matchy matchy outfits., so the nickname and finding out they were sisters was no huge deal.
Now, I had also been desiring Marisol and Jess, and they were enroute while I was absorbing the whole Katie/Kirstie thing.
I looked so forward to Jess, probably more than the others. My own children are bi-racial, and a lot of their friends are too, so Jess was to be a very welcome addition to our family. She arrived the next day, and she was just perfect, except for one small problem: [img]eek.gif[/img] She says her name is not Jess, she is Jennie, and she's not Japanese/Irish, she's Welsh and Irish. "Can't you see that I look just like a young Catherine Zeta-Jones? And by the way, get this funky orange thing off me, I much prefer classic little girls clothing, dresses mostly." So <u>this</u> is Jennie! [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img] But what is going on here? It shouldn't have come to any surprise to me that when Marisol showed up, she told the whole bunch of us that she is not who we think she is, she is from Greece and her name is Chloe, thank you very much.

I love my girls, but they are making me crazy with this whole mixed up identity thing. Is this normal?! [img]confused.gif[/img]
