If you were a child of the 80s or 90s, you’d remember the popular, sculptured dolls called Cabbage Patch Kids. Nearly every kid had one, unless your parents opted to buy the cheaper version. I had a similar doll which I called Judy. She came with me when I was six to get my tonsils out. To this day she still has the hospital band the nurse placed around Judy’s arm when I had my operation.
The dolls became a popular toy because of the unique adoption process which made it personal and special. Each doll came with their own unique name and birth certificate. Names could be officially changed but it was a process and this added to their charm. With a soft body to cuddle, sweet clothes to accessorise, adorable facial features and the iconic signature on the butt, the Cabbage Patch Kid dolls hit the spot for retro kids.
See the signature of Xavier Robert on the bottom? I was reading on My CP Collection about identifying the date from the signature, and it looks like this one was from 1985.
Identifying Cabbage Patch Kid from signature
- 1983 – Black
- 1984 – Green (Preemies and Foreign kids had Black siggies this year)
- 1985 – Blue
- 1986 – Red
- 1987 – Aqua
- 1988 – Lavender
- 1989 – Rose
Brooke was hoping someone might be able to help her with finding out more about her brother’s doll from the signature. Any feedback? Just leave it in the comments. The only thing I was curious about is the signature does not seem to be the traditional one from Xavier Robert (like the doll pictured above). However, it does seem to be one of the earlier signatures used by Xavier.
When we asked the BAFM community what your cabbage patch doll was called, we were blown away with the names. Some of them are hilarious. Others are a bit strange. Any wonder some of you requested a name change!
Jodie shared her doll called Dwight Matthew, who she played with when she was a child, and then her son after her. Oh, mine had one of those dummies too!
Here is a list in alphabetical order of some of the Cabbage Patch Kids that were adopted in the 80’s and 90’s. Some of these ‘kids’ are 30 years old. If you want yours on the list also, simply leave a comment below.

March 14, 2023 at 4:57 amThe only two I had as I child, I threw away their birth certificates, so I have no idea what their names were. I recently bought some online with their birth certificates:
Clifton Blair, and original soft sculpture little people from 1982
Cleo Elphia, preemie from 1989
Lorena Montana, a TRU from 2002
The rest of my patch have no names.

June 4, 2023 at 11:33 amWhen my son was born, my husbands mother gave my husband his original cabbage patch doll that was never opened. I don’t even know what year it was made, but my husband was born in 1984.
His cabbage patch doll was named Rodney Gavin and he’s a red head (like my husband.)
I wish I could find out how much he is worth

August 1, 2023 at 1:34 pmThe cabbage patch doll that someone asked about was made in 1995 by Mattel and it wasn’t signed by XR’s. I have one that’s has the same signature and the info about the “knock-off” are on the back of their heads and on a body tag on the doll.

August 11, 2023 at 11:43 amI purchased (adopted) Elaine Annabelle in the Summer of 1985 while working the toy department at JC Penney in Lancaster, PA. She was born in September 1984. At 39 years old, she hasn’t aged a day and has a closet filled with original Cabbage Patch clothes and accessory items. She also has a brother and sister rescued from thrift stores.
