Toby or Teddy?

[MsMiaWallace]

So we narrowed boys names down to Toby. DH has thrown Teddy into the mix now!

Which do you prefer? Toby or Teddy?
Middle name will be Charles.

We already have a Harry & Freddie.
I was worried Teddy is a lot like Freddie??

Teddy is very very popular at the moment and since it also rhymes with Freddie I would go Toby! Very nice name.

Toby. Teddy is super popular now.

Not Freddie and Teddy, that would be silly.

I love the name Teddy (as a nickname for Theodore) and that would have been the name we chose if DD2 had been a boy. However, with Freddie already, it will be too similar.

I think Freddie and Teddy are too close.
I like Toby, Tobias is lovely for full.

I prefer Toby. I know Teddy is a real name but I always think of the toy.

Toby for sure, Teddy is a toy bear.

Toby but put Tobias on the BC do you have something to call him when you are angry

so not do

Toby as Teddy is pretty popular and doesn't go well with Freddie.

Toby, definitely.

Next doors dog is a Teddy, so I'm with Toby

Where I live Toby/Tobias is very popular. I actually love the name Teddy, the only one I know is a relative of mine.

You can't have Freddie and Teddy, just sounds daft! Teddy is too popular now, but sounds quite babyish really. OK as a shortening of Theodore or Edward.

So I'd go with Toby (or Tobias on the certificate as a pp suggested).

I like them both but prefer Toby.
But you can't have a Freddie and Teddy!

Sorry but Teddy is my dog’s name.Obviously I love it but think it’s a bit twee.Toby def

You can’t have a Freddie and a Teddy

Stick with Toby.

Teddy rhymes with Freddie, just sounds ridiculous!

I don’t mind Teddy as a diminutive of Edward or Theodore but hate it as a stand alone name, I’d hate to just be ‘Teddy’ on my birth certificate. It’s cute for a baby but not an adult.

I’d go with Toby (Tobias).

Teddy is very popular, plus too similar to Freddie. Also, I see it as a nn for Edward. If Freddy’s name was a Frederick, and Teddy was Edward, that wouldn’t be so bad.

On that basis, I vote Toby.

Freddie and Teddy?!

No, unless they happen to be hamsters.

Toby is lovely and complements Freddie really well.

I’d hate to be a grown man named Teddy. Toby is marginally better.
