I. Eridanus - A constellation in the southern celestial hemisphere. II. Andrus - Greek meaning man; warrior. III. Callisto/Kallisto - was an Arcadian nymph, whose name literally means “most beautiful.”

1) Roman 2) Vitaly 3) Nicky I don’t have any particular reasons, they just popped into my head while I looked at him. Gorgeous work!
1) Lem, which is of a Hebrew origin meaning "Belonging to God". Belonging to God indicates a sort of innocence that I think the sculpt embodies. The name is soft but blunt in an honest way, which I think suits the features of the doll's face. I haven't seen this name for a doll anywhere either, so it would be easy to look up the doll sculpt in the future. 2) Hoenheim, which is the true last name of a famous alchemist who went by the moniker Paracelsus. The name is soft but masculine and rolls off the tongue easily. It reminds me of the word honey and home combined, which suits the doll's face. Hoenheim is a character in Full Metal Alchemist, so there might be some confusion in searching for the doll sculpt. Speaking of alchemy- 3) Rebis, since the sculpt is a wonderful balance of masculine with an effeminate sense of beauty. An aspect of alchemy is studying ultimate forms. One such form is believed to be part man and part woman, otherwise known as a hermaphrodite. An alchemical hermaphrodite is also referred to as a Rebis. The name Rebis reads as a male name, sounding similar to Rhys. It also sounds similar to the word rebus, which is a type of puzzle combining images and words to spell out a sentence (and a rebis is technically an answer to the alchemical puzzle). It is uncommon, and would stand out amongst doll sculpt names. Even without knowing the origin of the name Rebis, it sounds cool and mysterious.
1) Vox - Meaning 'voice'. 2) Dagda - After the Irish god, wisdom and strength. 3) Leo - After the starsign, which falls within July, the month of his naming.
So I know the head is supposed to be male, but it looks like it could make a great woman too, so I concentrated on names that could be used for any gender-- 1. Kai (meaning earth or "Keeper of the Keys") 2. Lyric 3. Jin (Bright and Beautiful)
1. Keanu - mainly Hawaiian meaning "the breeze." He reminds me of a picture I saw of "sad Keanu" & I believe he is a beautiful man. 2. Ambrosius - "Divine." Plus it's Roman. 3. Wynter - "The coldest month of the year." I choose to spell it with a "y"
1. Bacchus: Roman god of wine and revelry. 2. Aeneas: The first true hero of Rome, an ancestor of its founders, Romulus and Remus. 3. Virgil: Roman poet, renowned for telling the adventures of Aeneas.
1. Hazen. His hazel colored eyes see far through the Haze. 2. Emris. Welsh for Immortal. 3. Sartorius. German name.
When I saw him at first, my first thought was: French revolutionaries storm the Bastille. There's something about him, something from France. My proposals: 1. Augustine (for eg. Augustine of Hippo or Louise Augustine Gleizes) 2. Louis - King Louis XVI (executed by guillotine in the Place de la Revolution in Paris) 3. Jean Baptiste (for eg. from novel "Perfume").
#1 Nefertum or Nephren. (Nefertum - in ancient Egyptian religion, youthful god associated with the lotus flower.) #2 Alexander. (which meant "defending men") #3
#1 Connor, because it's one of my favourite names. It means essentially a person who loves dogs. Who doesn't love dogs? #2 Barnaby, which the internet tells me means something like a child of prophecy or exhortation and since we're having a contest to name him, that seems sort of apt. #3 Urban, which is 'of the city' and he looks like a modern day rocker sort, cruising around the city.
1. Myrsky (finnish word for storm) 2. Kuura (finnish word for frost/rime) 3. Susi (finnish word for a wolf) Strong facial features need some strong words.
Oscar Helios = greek name meaning the god of the sun, who drove his chariot daily across the sky Elio = male name of Spanish origin that means "The Sun"
1. Adain - a little bit of class, 2. Morrison - a little bit of rock & roll, 3. Devereaux - because sometimes a dashing name is all you’ve got besides buckets of panache
1) Blair - for the unisex option 2) Everett 3) Taliesin - [Welsh, meaning 'radiant brow'] name of a bard famed in mythology and Arthurian legend
1. Douglas, meaning: dark waters 1. Aidan, meaning: little fire/flame 2. Kane, meaning: Gaelic/Celtic- honor, war-like | Irish: tribute | Hebrew: a spear | Welsh: beautiful, fair | Japanese: golden, multiple accomplishments | Hawaiian: eastern sky | Scottish: golden | African: enough
1. Barlaam - according to Judeo-Christian legend, was the son of an Indian king, who became a hermit. Largely believed to be Buddha, and a few saints have the name, too. Just something interesting I learned the other day. 2. Endymion - a human man the moon goddess, Selene, was in love with. When she asked Zeus to give him immortal life, that jerk thought a nice way to do it would be to put the guy in a coma on some mountain. just saw someone else selected this one 2. Moritz - German form of Maurice, famed Roman soldier who also shared the name with a Byzantine emperor. 3. Paris - a name with many interesting possible implications. Yes, it's the name of one of the most romantic cities in the world. Also the name of a guy who kidnapped a princess and started a war that saw a bunch of guys sneak into a city in a big wooden horse. Sort of a coward but he did kill Achilles, who was sort of an A-hole. Plus, it's the name of that guy in Romeo and Juliet who basically only exists to make the surviving characters feel bad.
Well done! A+ analysis there (but seriously. most accurate and real Shakespeare character call out ever and you should totally win for that alone, imo)
#1 - Jake - I feel this is such a strong mans name. #2 - Dagger - because he’s so beautiful, his glare is like a Dagger in the heart. #3 Manly - he’s so manly. Simple yet with intensity......
