Can I call my baby girl Teddy/Teddie?

My baby girl is due soon. Had previously thought I'd love to call her Autumn, would have used Teddy for a boy but I love it so much I want to call my little girl Teddy. Am I being ridiculous? I'm not keen on Thea and really not on Theodora.

I think Teddy would make a great girls name! Not too sure about the inevitable nn of Ted though.

I like it! Grin

If you have another you could call her dolly. Grin

Dunno op, I wouldn't. Teddy is over popular IMO.

No, it's dreadful, and it's lingerie.
