Teddy!

Either, but please use the full name on the BC. These are both "little boy" names, and no hulking teenager or young adult is going to thank you for giving them the diminutive form of a name with no get-out.

Definitely Teddy, I would put Ted on the birth certificate and have the nick name Teddy if you didn't want a more formal Ed name.

Don't people (esp children) think Teddy Bear when they hear Teddy? It's cute for a toddler but I'm not sure I'd want to be called it as a teenager.

Yes, I think of the toy as well TBH.

Neither remember he's going to be a big hairy arsed bloke one day who won't appreciate being called Teddy or indeed Freddy

Teddy

Definitely prefer Teddy.

Teddy is a popular name now so it will be perfectly normal to be a big hairy bloke called Teddy in 20+ years time. I know a teenage Teddy and it suits him just fine.

Teddy - I like it as a full name

either are nice nicknames, so long as you give them an adult name on their birth cert

Teddy/Ted

My grandad was Teddy (Edward), so I'd pick that. There are LOADS of Freddies at our primary school now, must be the most popular boys name where we are.
