angliris Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hi, I was talking to my grandma that made and gave me my dollhouse and she mention that when she bought the dollhouse as a kit it was called The Annabelle. Does anyone know if this is true? I was wondering, if it is true why would they change the name especially from a femine to masculine name? Have they done this with any other dollhouse names?

Deb Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Yep, the Pierce was once the Annabelle and by either name, she's still a beauty. There are several kits that had different names but I'm drawing a blank on them right now. Someone help me remember.......... Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 the only differace. Between the two is the foundation. The annabell had stonework masonry kits that came with them. The house itself is the same beautiful Victorian beauty we all love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sommerstern7 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Maybe you can give YOURS a first and last name and call her the Annabelle Pierce. I LOVE the name Annabelle (actually Annabella) so that is what I would do . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justmesue Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Perhaps some names changed from female names to male names, around the time the human brain evolved out of it's prejudism enough to realize and accept, that boys and men can also like to build and decorate dollhouses, without being eternally warped. Having a masculine name might have been thought to help remove the fear and stigma, that was at one time, associated with boys playing with dolls. Just thinking it makes sense, nothing based in fact here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterfieldzoo Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 There is a large RGT house that has 2 names. The columbian is another house that looks like another? And the tiffani and the santa house are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
