Teddie Bay is horrific 😂😂😂😂
The sort of name that becomes a hilarious story amongst healthcare professions.
Laughing at the parents absolute stupidity, and lack of class

Seconding the idea of naming her Thea, nickname Teddie.

hannah1992. Teddy is a generally male NN. you would never know if that is his official name, he could be a Ted, Theodore, or Edward.

Sorry OP calling a little girl Teddie is immature. my spellcheck doesn't even like it.

Snowsnake · 21/03/2018 20:05

Sounds like a great name for a dog ..not so for a solicitor or a doctor....joking aside
Surely the registrar won't allow a dogs name for a child

hannah1992 · 21/03/2018 20:02

There is a boy in my dds class called teddy. Nobodies batted an eyelid about it. It’s not a name I would choose personally though

MikeUniformMike · 21/03/2018 19:57

Teresa May sounds like a name a prime minister could have.

MikeUniformMike · 21/03/2018 19:55

Teddy is fine as a nn. Teddie looks like spelling mistake.
Give the girl a classic middle name or use Teddy as a short form of Theodora, Edina or Edwina.

QuantamBaby · 21/03/2018 12:28

Teddie is a cute nick name for a small girl. It's not the sort of name you want to be lumbered with as an adult - give her a proper name and then she has options.

I rather love Theodora but how about Thea, Edeline, Edith, Edda - they could all lead to a nickname of Teddie.

olderthanyouthink · 21/03/2018 12:15

Teddie should be a nickname only. I like Theodora.

No bay, or mai.

I like sage and pearl.

Talith · 21/03/2018 12:04

I quite like Teddie Lynn. Or Teddie Rae.

I do think she's at a high risk of teasing with that as a first name though.

Kokeshi123 · 21/03/2018 12:01

Teddie is really, really awful, sorry. Please don't do this to your child. She will resent you for it.

Call her Teresa or something and save Teddie for the nickname (if she will put up with it).

NameChange30 · 21/03/2018 11:54

Theodora Rose is lovely
Theodora Faye works too

NOT “Bay” and if you’re set on May, use that spelling, not “Mai”

EleanorXx · 21/03/2018 11:50

*When, not when’s

EleanorXx · 21/03/2018 11:49

It’s a cute nn, but put Theodora or Edwina on the birth certificate, so she has options when’s she’s a woman.
Theodora Faith
Theodora Rose
Theodora Pearl
Edwina Grace
Edwina Faye
Edwina Violet

ThatItIs · 21/03/2018 10:22

Why are people so unoriginal with middle names -- not that it matters I suppose 😂

I have to say Teddie isn't a name that I like. It's a bit twee.

Our DD is going to be Thea Rose and I think it's beautiful, we may call her Teddie as a nickname I suppose (but unlikely) but Thea will suit all through her life.

I LOVE Theodora but DH doesn't so we've met in the middle with the shorter version. Theodora with the option to call her Teddie yourself would be much better for her in the long run.

I say that as someone who actually likes the name Teddie but agree with PP on this one.

ShortandAnnoying · 21/03/2018 09:31

I agree you should give her the full name Theodora and call her Teddie at home, that gives her a lot

options of Thea and Dora if she prefers a more grown up shortening when she's older.
Middle name I prefer Rose of your options

bonbonours · 21/03/2018 09:31

Sorry but I agree Teddie is just awful and makes me think of cheesy Ann Summers lingerie. Theodore if you really must call her Teddie then she has options as an adult.

MammieBear · 21/03/2018 09:29

Teddie Anne
Teddie Jane

MammieBear · 21/03/2018 09:25

I agree go with Theodora or how about Theodosia on the birth certificate to give her options?...

Jaxtellerswife · 21/03/2018 08:12

Almost called my little girl teddie. I love it.

NewImprovedNinja · 21/03/2018 08:09

I think Teddie is nice but not keen on common names like Rose, May etc. Too much like the Shaz, Jane and Tracey's of my generation.

EllieMe · 21/03/2018 08:04

Please don't do this to an innocent child.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 21/03/2018 08:03

Teddie Bay? Grin you're kidding right?

Sounds like Teddie Bear with a speech impediment.
