DS (5) has always been completely unimaginative when it comes to naming teddies. Lots of Huggy Bears and Monkey/Rabbit etc... He decided to rename two tonight, and we now have Screwdriver and Walmart. No idea where those names have come from!

We have Specimen, who is a chicken. It suits him.

Croof and Crem, bears obviously.

We had a Kung-gi (god knows how to spell it!) and a Pang-gi.
No idea where they came from… We’re from Devon!

We have a bear called Oblong. I think there was a logical reason for the name but I've forgotten what it could be!

Not a teddy, but as a tot DS fell in love with an Early Learning Centre wind out tape measure in the charity shop. It was red, yellow and blue....he named it Greenie 🤣 he's 16 now and still has Greenie the pet tape measure!

We have a toy dog called Bagel. He is a beagle. My son misheard what type of dog it was.

Panty - a dog who pants when you press his paw.
Every time I hear the name I think of panty liner!
