Hi everyone! I figured this was the best place to post this question, but I could be wrong... If that's the case, I'm very sorry.

At any rate, I am trying to figure out a fairly menacing codename for an RP character of mine on a Teen Titans site. She will be villainous in the near-future, so it needs to sound like a villain's codename. Her superpowers are the ability to shape-shift into a doll, as well as super strength, though she only has her strength while in doll form. I'm having trouble thinking of a good doll-related codename for her, though, so I was hoping I could get some help. Google isn't much good for that, all I end up with is pictures of zombie dolls. Not exactly what I was looking for. I was thinking I could perhaps draw inspiration from the brand names of old porcelain dolls or something, but... Google wasn't much help with that, either. Does anyone here know a lot about dolls or have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

This probably isn't much help, but the only one that comes to mind is Marionette :/

The first thing that came to mind for me was Mannequin, it's not really a doll, but I think that mannequins have the same eerie feel to them as dolls - actually they are like really big dolls.

I find happy-ish names for villains help (i.e. The Joker), especially when trying to create a sinister character. Try Dollface. Puppet would be another - a really good one would be Poppet. Wikipedia's definition of a poppet is this:

In folk-magic and witchcraft, a poppet is a doll made to represent a person, for casting spells on that person or to aid that person through magic. These dolls may be fashioned from such materials as a carved root, grain or corn shafts, a fruit, paper, wax, a potato, clay, branches, or cloth stuffed with herbs. The intention is that whatever actions are performed upon the effigy will be transferred to the subject based in sympathetic magic. It was from these European dolls that the myth of Voodoo dolls arose. Poppets are also used as kitchen witch figures.

If you've read/seen The Crucible, you'll know that Puritans would accuse a woman of being a witch if she had a suspicious poppet in her home (look to Mrs Proctor).

Here are some other names you could use:

- Ventriloquist
- Bunraku (wooden Japanese puppet)
- Marotte

Aah! Sorry for forgetting to reply to this. I ended up going with Poppet! Thank you both for your help, you're awesome.
