Sister for Teddy

35 replies

DueNov22 · 21/08/2022 07:23

Our son is called Theodore but we call him Teddy. Looking for a girls name for his sister, so far here is our list that we both like, but we don’t have a clear favourite.

Maeve
Poppy
Pippa
Mabel

What’s your thoughts on these names? Any other suggestions?

I like Mabel but it’s far too twee in conjunction with Teddy. Pippa (Philippa) or Maeve would be my choice.

Mabel and Maeve from your list.

Other suggestions:
Matilda
Florence
Millicent

I was thinking Teddy and Dolly sounds right.
But, obviously don't do this in real life.

I really hope the 2 people who have suggested it are just being sarcastic.

I have a Theodore who we call Teddy too and his sister is Madeleine 🙂

Snugglemonkey · 23/08/2022 23:50

I am thinking of calling my daughter Maeve, although using the Irish spelling. I think Mabel goes best with Teddy from your list though. I also love the Dolly suggestion.

SemperIdem · 23/08/2022 23:39

Maeve is so lovely!

Pippa doesn’t travel well, which I find off putting.

Suggestions:

Felicity (Teddy and Fliss could be cute)
Harriet (Teddy and Hattie)

I have a Teddy and a Pippa 🤩
My second choice girl name was Josie short for Josephine.

Teddy and Polly
Teddy and Camilla
Teddy and Elizabeth
Teddy and Alexandra

TopFun · 21/08/2022 14:42

Dolores - Dolly.

Luredbyapomegranate · 21/08/2022 14:40

They are all very slight compared to Theodore. You’ve given your son a grown up full name so I think you need to do the same for you daughter

Pippa is sweet, but needs to be short for Philippa - it’s too little girly as a full name.

Poppy and Mabel are drippy and Maeve I think is just ugly personally.

Other thoughts that have nns (if that’s what you want)

Cassia nn Cassie
Marianne nn May or Annie / Nancy
Felicity nn Issy
Cecilia nn Cece
Verity nn Vivi
Susannah nn Sukie
Penelope / Eleanor nn Nell
Alexandra nn Sandy
Annabel nn Annie or Nancy
Beatrice nn Bea
Elizabeth nn Lizbie, Eliza, Betsy, Libby, Buffy etc
Sarah nn Sadie
Frances / Francesca nn Frankie, Francie, Chessie, Chesca, Franca
Caroline nn Callie
Jennifer / Genevieve nn Jenny / Ginny
Matilda nn Mattie or Tilda
Madeleine nn Maddie
Emmeline nn Emmy
Edith nn Edie
Charlotte nn Lottie

Julia
Juliet
Flora
Stella
Claudia

I absolutely love Mabel. The others are all nice names but Mabel is my favourite and fits with Theodore/Teddy.

What about Phoebe or Callista- Callie for short ?

custardbear · 21/08/2022 09:29

I used to have a small doll as a child called a Pippa, and had teddies too so those names sound a bit like toys ... which is fine if you like that lol
