Can I call my baby girl Teddy/Teddie?

[ems942]

My baby girl is due soon. Had previously thought I'd love to call her Autumn, would have used Teddy for a boy but I love it so much I want to call my little girl Teddy. Am I being ridiculous? I'm not keen on Thea and really not on Theodora.

How is it for a nickname for Eden or Edel???

As a nn its fine as an actual name not for me

I have a male friend named Teddie and he seriously hates his name, plenty of comments from strangers and odd looks when he meets new people. I imagine it would be even worse for a girl!
She will most definitely be called Teddy Bear

I love it for a boy or for a girl!

It might work as Teddie-Mae or Teddie-Rose if you really want to use it.
