kokeshi dolls w/names

HI all, I have this set of 10 dolls, and at one time I found another seller who had these almost identical, still in the original box.  They are a little over 2" tall, some are missing their pony tails.

 

I am wondering if there is another identification or type/name for these dolls, they each have their own name and seem to be a complete set.  Some of the names are mon,  kaya, kachin, myanmar, padaung, rakhine . 

Thank you so much!DSCN4605.JPGDSCN4607.JPG

This page has a lot of great info you can use in your research:

Upon further researching, yours may not be kokeshi dolls, which are Japanese.

 

Yours appear to be wooden bobble head dolls from Burma / Myanmar.
