This is what you get when you scan a stuffed rabbit:
Meet Girl, my oldest stuffed animal. My parents gave her to me as a Valentine's Day gift when I was just a wee thing and I, following a train of logic accessible only to those who haven't yet learned to tie their shoes, named her Girl. Because she's a girl.
I had a couple of other brilliant toy name choices in my childhood. First mention goes to my favorite bath toy, Sucky Ducky. Second mention goes to a toy that falls under the category of:
Terrible, Terrible Toy Ideas for Children
I used to have a Cabbage Patch Kid Preemie. I named her Creamy. Creamy the Preemie.
Yes, that's right: I had my very own plush, adorable premature baby doll. Because that's what every girl dreams of.
Don't get me wrong - my nephew was a preemie, and he's the best. But I don't think anyone would have been disappointed if he had waited a couple of more months before he decided to bust out of my sister's womb.
I mean, seriously, Cabbage Patch Kid Preemies?
"Mommy, Mommy! The preemie in that commercial is so little and cute! Can I have a preemie of my own someday?"
"Of course you can, darling. Just keep practicing with your candy cigarettes and your Big League Chew."

yeah, that commercial is a real "hoot", as they say.

(check the Wikipedia link if you haven't already. it's worth it.)
