My preference is for full name on BC, derivatives used in RL.

I don't know any Sam's, Dan's or Rob's who aren't Samuel, Daniel or Robert on their BC.

Doesn't really give him any leaway if he doesn't like it, though.
Well yes I tend to agree with that. My name's Clare and I resent the fact that there's no options for Nick names.

i don't think it would be a massive problem? i just love the name teddy, but not sure it's the best think to have on bc, but i don't want edward, theodore... so i think ted nn teddy would be a good alternative :)

It isn't different from Sam or Dan etc. They're all nicknames, shortened versions of the full name. Doesn't really give him any leaway if he doesn't like it though, does it?

Lovely sweet uncomplicated name, what's not to love. But I agree with Kitty be prepared for all the Oh is he Edward on his BC. If that bothers you.

I think it is quite nice, but he will have a life time saying 'no just Ted, no not edward.'
