If I like Teddy...

[Teachervoice]

But have now taken it firmly off the table because it seems everyone is using it, what else will I like?

We also quite like Torin and Thorin but don't want to use a name from Lord of the Rings.

Thanks!

Edwin ( and you can still call him ted )

I went to school with a Torrance!

I don't think it's like Teddy though. Teddy I'd put with Harry, Noah, Henry, Jacob etc.

Hate Eddie and think people may be tempted to call an Edwin, Eddie.

Nearly had a grand-father in law called Torrence! He was known as Terry, which is also hate.

Like Jacob but my parents' dog is called Jake. Oh, this is hard!

Torin is lovely! (Much nicer than Teddy!)

I was literally about to say the same thing! Torin is great! You should use it. Miles better than faddy Teddy

Tate?

Jacob with the nickname cobby or cubby is lovely.

Miles, Austin, monty, finley, rory, herbie. Barnaby.

Fanny, is that meant to be a joke? Cobby or Cubby..

Theodore with nn Teddy?

I do like Torin but what do you think of nicknames for it?

We would have gone for Theodore on the birth certificate but child would still have been known as Teddy, hence the original issue of it being super common!

I think I like Barnaby Fanny but I'm not keen on Barney - wasn't that the name of a purple dinosaur?

Another vote for Torin, gorgeous name!

Torin is nice. Torben?

No cobby is a genuine nn for Jacob. I think it's cute!

Would barnaby be shortened to Barney? I see them as separate names.

We have a 6 week old Torin. Super cool name. A million times better than the ubiquitous Teddy & it suits a baby, a toddler, a teen & a man. Tor is a perfectly good nn too.

Taran?
