Elmo Knows Your Name is a Sesame Street talking electronic plush toy made in 2005 by Fisher-Price. Programmable through a USB connection to a PC (Windows 2000 or XP operating systems only), Elmo is capable of saying 100 personalized phrases and sentences, reflecting children's names, birthdates, family, and personal interests.
As of launch, the toy could say over 15,000 names, including "Ba Kendra," "Bozo," "Chewbacca," "Cuauhtemoc," "Daidai," "Dedodyedo," "Deduskodyedushko," "Eideard," "Jahmonique," "Loyloy," "Shakeema," "Starbuck,"[1] "Schwestertein," "Sequita," "Sestrickurhacek," "Slaughter," and "Salmon." It did not contain some more common names, like "Saige," "Brayden," "Ross," "Rose," and "Rianna."[2]
Elmo also has an internal clock to know what time of day it is, and he will speak at times based on the settings the parents input to let the kid know if it's time to wake up, time for breakfast/lunch/dinner, or bedtime.
A new version of Elmo Knows Your Name and a spin-off toy, called Elmo Cell Phone, were released in 2007. The cell phone was also programmable through the Fisher-Price website and offered personalized voice mail messages from Elmo and his Sesame Street friends. Elmo also would chat about the weather. The toy featured sound effects and five ringtones.
