Do you mean the name on the birth certificate - no one can tell you that if you've forgotten I'm afraid. Cabbage Patch dolls are all unique in their name and birthdate (I mean the combination of - obviously a great deal of them now will have had the same birthdate but they won't have the same name and the same birthdate).

Are we sure this is a real Cabbage Patch doll?  The face and hands don't look right to me.

From what I've seen there were literally hundreds of name combinations, do you still have a certificate or name tag for it anywhere? and i actually agree with zap, it doesn't look like a CPK to me. do you still have the doll? real CPKs have signitures on their bums, lol. but i'd be very surprised if it wasn't a fakie, i've never seen a headmould like that before.

I think you're right - it does look like a knock-off

I'm not entirely sure so it could be a knock off.... My parents then gave us a cabbage patch doll each, mine's name was Elizabeth and had red hair. She was real. She did have the signature on her bum. I remember that. And she had very long red hair.

I don't have a photo of her unfortunately. She had no teeth showing, green eyes, a dimple of the left cheek, light red hair in pony tails with lace ribbons.

Something like this one...

neeta look at the hands of the one in the photo of the red haired doll - they are sectioned whereas the ones of on your doll aren't. Also the mouth has a much larger smile and the eyes are wider spaced.

Thanks, your right, after looking at them both, it is obvious the first one pictured with me is another doll. The one with the red hair I remember also, does anyone know her at all...? I know there are many that are the same or similar but I am hoping to find one like her...

The CPK doll you've pictured above was made by Coleco and has the Head Mould #3, you can find out what year it was made depending on what colour the signature is (see the guide here http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/cabbagepatch/signaturecolorhttp://www.angelfire.com/ca5/cabbagepatch/signaturecolors.htmls.html)

hope this helps.

I Also Think They Made Custom Cabbage Patch Kids. I Remember On My Birthday My Aunt Special Ordered One For Me (I Was So Happy) He Had Curly Brown Hair And Came With A Blue/White/Lime Green Outfit.

Yes they did make custom cabbage patch kids. In fact, they still do. http://www.cabbagepatchkids.com/index.html One day, I want to visit Babyland General hospital. I agree that neeta137's doll doesn't look like an original cabbage patch kid. I had an awesome doll my grandma made me that was a cabbage patch "knockoff". She had purple hair and I am still hunting for a replacement for her.

I think I might have located her... The very top doll on this kay and lyns page.

http://texaswatertowers.com/kayandlyn/blueboxtoys.html

Blue Box Toys, 1983 girl. Her shoes are part of her body. Doesn't she resemble the Cabbage Patch Kids from the same era with her yarn hair and funny face? Maybe a little prettier than the CPKs but not nearly as well made.

Does anyone else think she looks like this one????

Definitely! The only knock-offs I could find where Mop-Pets.

The Blue Box doll is way prettier than normal CPK!

I'll drive by Babyland General on my way home from school in a few weeks. :-D I picked up a brochure at the rest stop on the way here but didn't have time to see it. :P

Oh how cool. I've wanted to go to Babyland General forever. I think that it would be quite awesome.

Check out my site - its information i've been looking up on "FLOWER KIDS" by BLUE BOX.  Majority of them were made in 1983 - the year it actually started and the creator of CPK was quite upset since they wanted some piece of the glory by imitating the CPK - but the Flower Kids are much much more prettier than the CPK in my opinion.
