Noah is fine. Don't like Teddy. It's a very "soft" pairing...

The names are fine individually but don't go together IMO

Is that a bear?... Noah Teddy.

Agree I prefer Noah Edward

In my view Ted/ Teddy are nicknames not names but that's just my opinion

Noah Edwin

Noah is a hard name to pair, IMHO - ideally it needs a name beginning with a strong consonant to follow it, otherwise they all just blur together. Maybe not an issue, if you never really intend to use the full name other than formal occasions.

Having said that, I don't like "Noah Teddy", as I don't like Teddy full stop. Ted, maybe, Edward is better. "Edward Noah" is good, Ted for short?

Teddy is a nickname. Noah Edward is okay.

Sorry OP I'm also not a fan of Teddy.
I like the above suggestion of Edwin though, that's a lovely name.

If you really like something though, don't be put off by the opinion of others!

I really like Teddy but I don't think this pairing goes, Edward would be better. Or Theodore.

Just no.

I quite like both names but I don't think they go together. Also, both names are very popular at the moment so I would probably look to pair Noah with something a little more timeless eg Noah Alexander, Noah James. Smile

I don't like Noah but really like Teddy/Ted - great for child and adult imo.

teddy is the nickname for Theodore i think Noah Theodore is a nicer pairing

Sophronia - oh yeah, I can't shake that now. 'I know a teddy bear. . . Blue eyes and curly hair.' Sorry OP.

I do like Teddy as a nickname but would go for full name e.g. Edward or Theodore.

No, a teddy.

I only like Teddy as a nickname, and the combination with Noah doesn't sound right to me. Noah Edward?

As PPs have said - Teddy is lovely, but it's a nickname for Edward or Theodore, not a name!
