Teddie Boo Florence?

This is what Charlotte Bellamy (she plays Laurel off Emmerdale) has called her newborn baby daughter. Anyone adding that to their list of names? . I like the Florence part of it, but not sure on the rest.

Awful! Florence is nice, but Teddie and Boo are just silly, especially together!

MmeGoblindt · 27/10/2009 16:19

I don't know what is worse.

That they have taken a short version of a boys name and then mispelt it deliberately.

Or that they have used a nonsense word as a second name.

Oooor that they have then taken a really lovely name to team them with.

I bet she is calling herself Florence or Florrie by the time she is in her teens. Poor girl.

I think it's quite sweet.

FabioExtremeAngler · 27/10/2009 16:15

'Boo' is not a name.
It is an expression to frighten.
Or the first part of a sob - as in '~ hoo.'

CherryPopTart · 27/10/2009 16:11

theodore or edward shorten to ted, teddie ect not that bad
but Teddie Boo im just plain confussed

KAEKAE · 26/10/2009 14:40

I don't like Teddy for a girl and I don't like Boo.... so I hate them together! I do love Florence!

I have a dgs named Edward who is Ted for short but Teddie Boo?Sounds like a ghastly toy of some sort-maybe a jack-in-the box bear leaping up shouting'BOO'

Chickenshavenolips · 26/10/2009 12:47

Boo is my DS2's nickname, I have no idea why anyone would make it a legal name. I have also been known to call my DC's 'stinky', 'smell', 'monster' and 'buggerlugs', none of which feature on their birth certificates

Miggsie · 26/10/2009 12:43

Fine for a baby...40 year old investment banker...no, not really.

Mother must be convinced her children will take up a profession where the name won't be a problem.

MRSwereWOOLFhasabroomofherown · 26/10/2009 12:41

I've never heard of the celeb. Silly name, and I cannot understand the current trend for 'Boo' type middle names.
All these Boos surely won't be happy with their middle name as adults, I hope.

womma · 26/10/2009 09:32

Kinda tacky

DorotheaPlentighoul · 26/10/2009 08:35

Probably right, Megglevache -- I heard a biographer on Radio 4 recently saying that the name Victoria was, before she ascended the throne, regarded as roughly equivalent to "Kylie" today, and that a lot of people thought it was totally absurd that they were going to have a queen with such a ridiculous name...

Megglevache · 24/10/2009 19:49

sigh A future prime minister is likely to be called Chiffon-May or Kayleeagh- Pate the way names are changing and evolving.

Ot maybe Boris or Ptolomey

OrangeAnge · 24/10/2009 17:42

Exactly! It's hardly a name for a future Prime Minister is it?!

Boo really does seem to be taking off as a middle name. I wonder what they will think in ten/twenty years time!

LowLevelWhingeing · 24/10/2009 17:24

"Dr Teddy Boo Bellamy will see you now..."

No. Maybe on an advert in a phone box though?

pipWereRabbit · 24/10/2009 17:11

Hahahahaclonck

bodycolder · 24/10/2009 17:10

My cat is called teddy boo

Megglevache · 24/10/2009 17:07

But knotty- you don't get it. At 40 Teddie will be getting all snippy that her son and DIL are planning to call thier child either Brenda or Alan- it will be outrageously cool

KnottyLocks · 24/10/2009 16:44

Imagine her at 40. [hmmm]

Megglevache · 24/10/2009 16:41

perhaps on paper she is a Theodora or thedra?

Megglevache · 24/10/2009 16:40

Ahhhhhh LOVE it!

DorotheaPlentighoul · 24/10/2009 13:14

God. They'll all change their names in future.

qumquat · 24/10/2009 13:10

Keith Allen's little daughter is called Teddy too. Awful for both sexes IMHO, it's a cuddly toy!

sophiesmummie · 24/10/2009 10:48

It REALLY is Teddie Boo Florence.... and her other boys are called Herbie and Sunnie.

ShowOfHands · 23/10/2009 19:49

Teddie Boo, likes long walks in the country and weekends at the spa.

Saw it in a Boden catalogue I'd swear.
