I really need opinions on this, I love Teddy, but I know it probably isn't suitable for an adult... I have considered all the other names it's a diminutive of, but I think they all have a more obvious NN (Ed/Eddie / Theo, etc.) :)

It sounds very silly.

Why not just call him Ted, nickname Teddy, if you think Teddy by itself isn't great for an adult?

I like Thaddeo/Thaddeus with the nickname Teddy

Maybe I'll go with just Teddy then :)

I've come across someone with this name

Did you buy him a drink first?

I thought made up. Sounds silly.

Agree, it seems a bit daft. Either call him Teddy as his full first name, or go for Theodore but introduce him to everyone as Teddy.

People will think you have made it up.

He would be forever correcting people from 'Frederick'.

MissBattleaxe · 05/01/2016 21:41

No I don't like it. Frederick or Theodore, but not a combo.

mydogeatsnutstoo · 05/01/2016 21:40

I think it's a bit silly, sorry. I like Theodore, and if you always call him Ted he probably wouldn't end up being Theo.
