Teddy & Luca sound cute

Anni1234 · 11/09/2023 20:03

And congratulations 🥳

MrsMous · 11/09/2023 20:03

Louie is my fave . I like Lewis too.

ukMummyof1 · 11/09/2023 20:06

Thank you!! Louie and Marley are my favourites and Luca is my partners so hoping that with some opinions we can both read through and the more we see comments it will help us🤞😆

Luca for sure. Two -ee endings is not for me, so Louis and Marley are out. Also think Luca is the cutest and most handsome of the 3.

Hollywolly1 · 11/09/2023 20:09

Bear would be nice

ukMummyof1 · 11/09/2023 20:11

Thank you!! I hadn't actually thought of that.. we had originally agreed on Luca as I came up with Teddy's name the first time round but I've not got my heart 100% set on it but maybe in time it will come🥰

I have a Ted/Teddy and we went in totally the opposite direction - brother would have been Rory, Arthur or Hugo. But then he got a sister instead!

Dont use Marley - too much of a dogs name now

What about Max?

WombatBombat · 11/09/2023 20:20

Luca out of your list.

I also know a Teddy and George, Teddy and Noah & Teddy and Alfie.

momtoboys · 11/09/2023 20:21

Louie absolutely. Not Luca.

Hollywolly1 · 11/09/2023 20:21

Jacob is a beautiful name,Teddy & Jacob very different but beautiful together

BeaLola · 11/09/2023 20:24

Weirdly I was going to say Jacob but beaten to it

Teddy & Kit, Monty, Laurence, Otis, Ezra, Guy, Theo

HerculesMulligan · 11/09/2023 20:26

Theo is a variation of Ted! They’re both shortenings for Theodore.

OzDownUnder · 11/09/2023 20:28

Teddy and Luca

QueeniePlumtree · 11/09/2023 20:37

Love Luca!

YourWinter · 11/09/2023 20:40

All the Marleys I know are dogs or cats.

Louis, pronounced but not spelt as the childish Louie. Or Lewis.

CharlieBoo · 11/09/2023 21:59

Louis, pronounced Louie, but spelt Louis..

Or James.. classic and timeless

saraclara · 11/09/2023 22:05

Another ee sound would be horribly twee. And Marley is a dog's name now. Luca is great, and will also be great when he's a young man. It's got style and dignity.

I really dislike names that are chosen to be cute when a toddler, but don't work for an adult.

Mumofgirls2017 · 12/09/2023 05:40

marley

user1492757084 · 12/09/2023 06:30

Teddy and Louie is my pick.
If Teddy is his full name then the shortened Louie (not Louis) is appropriate. If Teddy is his nick name then I go with Louis.

Also Luke would be better than Luca unless Teddy is short for Edoardo

user1492757084 · 12/09/2023 06:31

Have you thought of Llewellyn - Llew?

Theoldwoman · 12/09/2023 14:02

Luca
