Dear readers, I need a name for my mannequin!
I've had her for a few months but I just can't think of a name, so I need your help.
She's definitely a vintage girl, and by the look of her, she's sported many an outfit.
Soon she'll be going to the shop, so we need a name for her.
I'm giving away this gorgeous blue 50s hat and two black vintage beaded purses to the person who comes up with the name I deem most suitable.
Open to Australian and overseas readers, you must be a follower and you're welcome to suggest more than one name.
You have one week to think of a name, winner announced next Sunday. Get your thinking caps on, chicas!

She looks like a Harriett to me or Isadora;)
Oh gee! Hmmm *thinking* of a clever name...
Martha Mary Pinkleton or Dolores Deadson or Roxie Valentine or Lulabelle Felice. I could go on forever hahaha
lets hear it for Jennie...
I haven't thought of a clever name but when I saw it I thought Dotty, straight away, freaky but true!! As I say not trying to inventive, that name just popped in my head :o)
She looks like a Genevieve to me
The name is of Germanic origin and has the meaning "woman of the people"

What a lovely idea....Ok here goes ;-)) Eleanor...Matilda....Mabel....or Florence....Your going to have fun with this post ;-)) Have a lovely week, gorg items to. Dee x
I think she looks rather elegant so I'm going for Euphemia, which according to my 1918 "Christian Name" book is a Greek-derived name meaning "Fair Fame". xxx
Astrid
It comes from Old Norse Ásfríðr (Divine Beauty), God + fair, beautiful.
Middle name Rose

Mrs Merriwether
Jane Doe
Veronica Venus
Dear Kitty, the first name that popped into my head was Gloria! When I bought mine the same name came up. I ended up calling her Tallulah.
Thanks for asking about the health kick. I've managed to juice every day and eat pretty well but that is it. I haven't even plugged the Wii Fit in! I shall have to make more effort this week. I've had a big weekend so all I can think about is eating today. I must go to the supermarket. Hope you have a great week xx
I like "Lillian" for the class, but I like "Helen" -- since the mannequin is, after all, deaf dumb and blind -- for the black humor.
Well. I thought it was funny at the time.

Mine is also going to be a little dark. I'm thinking "Helena" after that really horrible 90's movie "Boxing Helena" where the guy was so obsessed with a woman that he amputated her limbs so that she couldn't leave him.
Penny Lane - retro fun
or
Rosaline - from shakespeare as you like it
or my all time favorite
Lucy-Rose - beautifully timeless

I always like a name that goes with the era she comes from...I'm thinking she looks like a Shirley.....and there were and still are so many Shirley's from that era.xx
