Is her full name Teddie? Doesn’t leave her with her with option if she feels (rightly or wrongly) it’s a boy’s name or dare I say, a bit babyish to be an adult called Teddie.

Theodora, middle name Sage, Pearl or Maud.

Bear goes nice

Please don't call your daughter 'Teddie' - one day she will be grown up and applying for jobs, wanting to be taken seriously and so on.
You might as well call her 'Airhead' tbh.
How about Theodora nn Teddie, plus a normal middle name, like say, I don't know, one of your grandmothers or mothers.

Not Bay.... it's too much like Bae (have a google if that doesn't mean much to you).

Teddie Elizabeth? Theodora Elizabeth sounds lovely

Please:

  1. give her a full name. She will resent you if her birth certificate says 'Teddie'. Theodora is beautiful, really elegant and classy.

  2. try and think of a middle name that's not 'Mai' (May, surely?) or Rose (not sure you meant 'Bay' - it's certainly not a name AFAIAC). They're pretty names in themselves but they've become the Jane/Louise of this generation. Theodora with a one-syllable middle name would be good (I like Pearl as per a pp, or how about Anne, or a short two-syllable name like Nina, Zoe, Lucy?).

Teddie is a nice nickname but if I was an adult applying for jobs and I had to put down that my first name was Teddie, I'd be embarrassed, whereas, if I was called Theodora and nicknamed teddie, I would LOVE it. As for middle names. Bay? Rose is nice but Mai spelt like that is chav to me. Theodora Rose.

CocoLoco87 · 21/03/2018 07:22

Another one for Theadora Rose! Beautiful name.

Teddie Bay?
Sounds a bit like teddie bear to me.

villainousbroodmare · 21/03/2018 07:24

Theodora Rose. It's a name for her whole life.

Robbie Williams has a daughter called Teddy (Theodora) Rose. Both Bay and Mai are dreadful.

StellaHeyStella · 21/03/2018 07:26

Don't call her Teddie ffs, she'll struggle in life with that. Absolutely fine for a dog though.
Theodora is a great name, beautiful and strong and I love pps suggestions of Sage, Maud and Pearl.

PaleBlue · 21/03/2018 07:27

Theodora Pearl is a lovely name. Teddie Bay sounds similar to Teddie Bear, maybe you like that?

FleurDelacoeur · 21/03/2018 07:33

As I said on the duplicate thread this is a CHILD you are naming not a puppy or soft toy.

Teddie Bay. Seriously.

MrsBertBibby · 21/03/2018 07:36

Please don't name your daughter after lingerie.

Wolfiefan · 21/03/2018 07:44

Teddie is awful. Lovely for a pet or as a nickname but not for an actual person.
It's surname. Not sir name.
None of those middle names!

Notproudofthisone · 21/03/2018 07:46

What about something like Teddie Jane, then she could be TJ if she is unsure of teddie.
That said, lots of baby boys and girls lately have been called teddy/teddie so I don’t think it’ll be that unusual in the future. W

Sarsparella · 21/03/2018 07:47

Teddie isn’t a name for a child, don’t be so cruel

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 21/03/2018 08:03

Teddie Bay? Grin you're kidding right?

Sounds like Teddie Bear with a speech impediment.

EllieMe · 21/03/2018 08:04

Please don't do this to an innocent child.

NewImprovedNinja · 21/03/2018 08:09

I think Teddie is nice but not keen on common names like Rose, May etc. Too much like the Shaz, Jane and Tracey's of my generation.

Jaxtellerswife · 21/03/2018 08:12

Almost called my little girl teddie. I love it.

MammieBear · 21/03/2018 09:25

I agree go with Theodora or how about Theodosia on the birth certificate to give her options?...

MammieBear · 21/03/2018 09:29

Teddie Anne
Teddie Jane
