Teddie Boo Florence?

This is what Charlotte Bellamy (she plays Laurel off Emmerdale) has called her newborn baby daughter. Anyone adding that to their list of names? . I like the Florence part of it, but not sure on the rest.

Its a girl? I assumed it was a boy - being called Teddy. Is it a unisex name then?

Teddie Boo, likes long walks in the country and weekends at the spa.

Saw it in a Boden catalogue I'd swear.

Keith Allen's little daughter is called Teddy too. Awful for both sexes IMHO, it's a cuddly toy!

Imagine her at 40. [hmmm]

But knotty- you don't get it. At 40 Teddie will be getting all snippy that her son and DIL are planning to call thier child either Brenda or Alan- it will be outrageously cool

"Dr Teddy Boo Bellamy will see you now..."

No. Maybe on an advert in a phone box though?

Exactly! It's hardly a name for a future Prime Minister is it?!

Boo really does seem to be taking off as a middle name. I wonder what they will think in ten/twenty years time!

sigh A future prime minister is likely to be called Chiffon-May or Kayleeagh- Pate the way names are changing and evolving.

Ot maybe Boris or Ptolomey

Probably right, Megglevache -- I heard a biographer on Radio 4 recently saying that the name Victoria was, before she ascended the throne, regarded as roughly equivalent to "Kylie" today, and that a lot of people thought it was totally absurd that they were going to have a queen with such a ridiculous name...

I've never heard of the celeb. Silly name, and I cannot understand the current trend for 'Boo' type middle names.
All these Boos surely won't be happy with their middle name as adults, I hope.

Fine for a baby...40 year old investment banker...no, not really.

Mother must be convinced her children will take up a profession where the name won't be a problem.

Boo is my DS2's nickname, I have no idea why anyone would make it a legal name. I have also been known to call my DC's 'stinky', 'smell', 'monster' and 'buggerlugs', none of which feature on their birth certificates

'Boo' is not a name.
It is an expression to frighten.
Or the first part of a sob - as in '~ hoo.'
