Help - tooth fairy name!

53 replies

banggoestheweasel · 05/09/2023 20:08

Indulge me, dd's first tooth has finally fallen out and she has been waiting for this day forever...

I need a name for her tooth fairy (bloody family tradition, don't ask) but bloody knackered, and my mind has gone blank...

Help!

Felicity, can't remember why that name was chosen

Mine was Titania, queen of the fairies, and my Mum used to write teeny tiny little letters to me to go with my money whenever a tooth fell out. She lived in my dolls' house but I couldn't see her.

I have 3 boys and the youngest's Tooth Fairy was called Brian. He had a beard and a liking for takeaways, and wore a tutu and hobnailed boots. We always said it was a miracle DS didn't hear him coming up the stairs 'cos his boots were too heavy to fly in. He also used to complain about having to put his kebab down to take the tooth from under the pillow. We all loved Brian.

Ok, so her first name is Flora... I need whimsical fairy second names...!!! Flutterworth is totally pants.

Flora Shimmerstone? Floral Sparklewing? Flora Forget-me-not? Bit of a mouthful... 🤣

Ours was Elida Fae

Womblegreen · 05/09/2023 20:56

Ours was called Pearl and the one on holiday was a friend of hers called Shine!

CuntRYMusicStar · 05/09/2023 20:56

Flora Flitterwing?

Ours just got whichever tooth fairy was on duty that day - they liked comparing notes to see who the other had had visit! 😆

RandomMess · 05/09/2023 20:57

Ours was Alathea.

DD asked A LOT of questions.

A tooth fairy called Flora Portefeuille?

TenOhSeven · 05/09/2023 21:21

Wow, I didn't realise tooth fairying was still such a female dominated profession (apart from Brian and Reggie). Must be a bit challenging for the diversity team trying to widen access but I'm sure they're on it. Wink

You're assuming they are female ;)

I (ahem, the tooth fairy I mean) got in to a very protracted back and forth with DD when she was about 6. The tooth fairy was called Lucy. We were exchanging letters for weeks. I seem to remember she was 157 years old.

NooNakedJacuzziness · 05/09/2023 21:37

Iva Cavity? Or Flora Flosswell

I think you should use a name that cheers up the teachers who will hear about this. Angela Merkel.

Gro · 05/09/2023 21:52

Never heard of anyone naming their tooth fairy before I can't believe so many people do it. We always just called her the tooth fairy...

When DD was about 7 she decided the tooth fairy lived in our attic and came out through the fairy door in her bedroom. Felt so guilty on the day we bug bombed the attic I had to take her out for the day so she didn't find out!

ADessertOrAMeringue · 05/09/2023 21:59

We have tooth fairy sisters in this house called Foxy and Roxy. They leave tiny letters with curly handwriting to say thank you for the teeth. Once they went on holiday (aka my DH forgot when I was away) and their little brother Rocky wrote a very poorly penned apology to say he was supposed to be covering for them but messed up.
I'm pretty sure my eldest knows it's me who writes the letters but she gets upset if she doesn't get one. She's on her last few teeth now so Foxy will be off the hook!
