This is what Charlotte Bellamy (she plays Laurel off Emmerdale) has called her newborn baby daughter. Anyone adding that to their list of names? . I like the Florence part of it, but not sure on the rest.

Its a girl? I assumed it was a boy - being called Teddy. Is it a unisex name then?

boodleboot · 23/10/2009 19:44

awful. blardy slebs...

herjazz · 23/10/2009 19:47

sure she hasn't just called her florence and the teddy boo bit is just her cootchie cootchie pet name thing? Cos that's what it sounds like

Teddie Boo, likes long walks in the country and weekends at the spa.

Saw it in a Boden catalogue I'd swear.

It REALLY is Teddie Boo Florence.... and her other boys are called Herbie and Sunnie.

Keith Allen's little daughter is called Teddy too. Awful for both sexes IMHO, it's a cuddly toy!

DorotheaPlentighoul · 24/10/2009 13:14

God. They'll all change their names in future.

Megglevache · 24/10/2009 16:40

Ahhhhhh LOVE it!

Megglevache · 24/10/2009 16:41

perhaps on paper she is a Theodora or thedra?

KnottyLocks · 24/10/2009 16:44

Imagine her at 40. [hmmm]

Megglevache · 24/10/2009 17:07

But knotty- you don't get it. At 40 Teddie will be getting all snippy that her son and DIL are planning to call thier child either Brenda or Alan- it will be outrageously cool

bodycolder · 24/10/2009 17:10

My cat is called teddy boo

pipWereRabbit · 24/10/2009 17:11

Hahahahaclonck

LowLevelWhingeing · 24/10/2009 17:24

"Dr Teddy Boo Bellamy will see you now..."

No. Maybe on an advert in a phone box though?

OrangeAnge · 24/10/2009 17:42

Exactly! It's hardly a name for a future Prime Minister is it?!

Boo really does seem to be taking off as a middle name. I wonder what they will think in ten/twenty years time!

Megglevache · 24/10/2009 19:49

sigh A future prime minister is likely to be called Chiffon-May or Kayleeagh- Pate the way names are changing and evolving.

Ot maybe Boris or Ptolomey

DorotheaPlentighoul · 26/10/2009 08:35

Probably right, Megglevache -- I heard a biographer on Radio 4 recently saying that the name Victoria was, before she ascended the throne, regarded as roughly equivalent to "Kylie" today, and that a lot of people thought it was totally absurd that they were going to have a queen with such a ridiculous name...

womma · 26/10/2009 09:32

Kinda tacky

MRSwereWOOLFhasabroomofherown · 26/10/2009 12:41

I've never heard of the celeb. Silly name, and I cannot understand the current trend for 'Boo' type middle names.
All these Boos surely won't be happy with their middle name as adults, I hope.

Miggsie · 26/10/2009 12:43

Fine for a baby...40 year old investment banker...no, not really.

Mother must be convinced her children will take up a profession where the name won't be a problem.

Chickenshavenolips · 26/10/2009 12:47

Boo is my DS2's nickname, I have no idea why anyone would make it a legal name. I have also been known to call my DC's 'stinky', 'smell', 'monster' and 'buggerlugs', none of which feature on their birth certificates

pranma · 26/10/2009 13:43

I have a dgs named Edward who is Ted for short but Teddie Boo?Sounds like a ghastly toy of some sort-maybe a jack-in-the box bear leaping up shouting'BOO'

KAEKAE · 26/10/2009 14:40

I don't like Teddy for a girl and I don't like Boo.... so I hate them together! I do love Florence!

CherryPopTart · 27/10/2009 16:11

theodore or edward shorten to ted, teddie ect not that bad
but Teddie Boo im just plain confussed

FabioExtremeAngler · 27/10/2009 16:15

'Boo' is not a name.
It is an expression to frighten.
Or the first part of a sob - as in '~ hoo.'
