Summary/Abstract: The paper aims at examining the field of toy names in view of establishing the main trends that define this onomastic subcategory in contemporary Romanian space. The names are analysed from a multidisciplinary perspective, by using concepts and precepts pertaining to onomastics, linguistics, lexicology, child/behavioural psychology, pragmatics, referential semantics, sociolinguistics, stylistics and psychopedagogy. The investigation of the names starts from their classification according to the name-giving entities (official names, given by toy makers, and unofficial names, attributed by children or other individuals), as well as according to the (lexical-semantic)structure of the identifying constructions. The material interpreted consists of official and unofficial names of toys collected by the authors of this study by means of an online survey.
