I wonder how it learns the name. If you can enter or a say a milti-syllabled name the parents could have chosen “kill-james” as the name that the doll would say.

I wonder how it learns the name.

Thanks to the excellent research by Yo-Yo in finding the toy's web page (post 14), you can see how it's done by going to the name-download page.  The names are saved as .rbf files, which I'm unfamiliar with in the context of a conventional  sound file.

Perhaps this is a proprietary format, and is so in order to prevent tampering?

I'm also noticing that "James" is no longer listed as being an available name for download....
