I am trying to find out who made a male porcelain doll. It is a toddler, with a red sucker in its left hand, and blonde hair. The back of the neck says #284/2000 1997.

If it has no other markings it was probably mass produced. It was probably made in 1997. You could take it to a doll dealer, but I don't think it's worth much.
DOLLS
An easy online search for "porcelain doll values" will produce many answers. Keep in mind that just because a doll may be fancy, old, inherited, etc., it most probably has little value as most are mass produced in the thousands and very often include the rather misleading term limited edition in their names. A doll's condition is extremely important in considering value-the best doll prices are paid for dolls literally never removed from their boxes. You can find prices for some dolls on EBay and try online for further research. This site is a good place to start:
Hope you have found your doll's identity but if not you can try asking the eBay doll community as they help a lot of people identify dolls everyday.
Actually 2000 dolls made is not a really high number so your doll could be worth at least $50 but you will have to know a name or manufacturer.
Check out the following link and if you are an eBay member (or join) then you can upload photos and size of doll and see what they tell you.
