Girls name to honor my dad

General Name Discussion
1

His name is [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_m]Steven[/name_m]. I want to find a girls name to honor him. I have a sister names [name_u]Stevie[/name_u] already so I’m sure I don’t want to go with that. I have been toying with [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] nn [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] but I’m not sure of a middle name. I’m honestly not sure if I like it enough. What are your ideas?

I think [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] is pretty, but if you’re not sure of it then I wouldn’t go with it. Other names that could honour [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] could maybe be:

Thea or [name_f]Theia[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodosia[/name_f]
[name_f]Anthea[/name_f] nn [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]

I personally prefer [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] over [name_f]Theodora[/name_f], but both are pretty and would be great names to honour [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]. What about [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] to honour [name_m]Steven[/name_m]?

I think [name_m]Teddie[/name_m]/Teddi is so sweet for a girl.

I think [name_f]Thea[/name_f] would be a lovely way to honor your dad. For a middle name, I saw someone suggested [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f]. In addition, what about [name_u]Stevie[/name_u], [name_f]Evie[/name_f], or [name_f]Eve[/name_f]?

I love [name_f]Theodora[/name_f]!

Some middle ideas are
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]

I recently met a little girl named [name_m]Tenney[/name_m]. Her sisters were [name_u]Tay[/name_u], [name_f]Thea[/name_f], and I can’t remember the other one but it was also a T lol.

I love the name [name_f]Theodora[/name_f]. I think it sounds best with a short and feminine middle name.

  • Theodora [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
  • Theodora [name_u]Anne[/name_u]
  • Theodora [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
  • Theodora [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
  • Theodora [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
  • Theodora [name_f]Kate[/name_f]

If you want your daughter to have the same initials, I’m (a bit surprisingly) into [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] [name_f]Serenity[/name_f].
