Honoring Teddy

[name_f]My[/name_f] best friend recently came out as non-binary and I’ve run into the problem that the name I’ve been using to honor them now refers to their dead name. They’ve picked the name [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], occasionally going by [name_m]Ted[/name_m], what would be a good way of honoring a [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]?

[name_m]Todd[/name_m] for a boy, [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] and [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] for a girl?

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodosia[/name_f]
[name_u]Edward[/name_u]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]

[name_u]Theo[/name_u]?

[name_u]Theo[/name_u] (for either gender, I have it on my girl list personally)
[name_m]Bear[/name_m]

Theodore or Theodora!

I actually know an adult female [name_f]Teddi[/name_f] and I think it works quite well

[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Edie[/name_f]

Assuming you don’t want to use [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]:
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Edie[/name_f]

[name_u]Thaddeus[/name_u]

i love [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] or [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f]! but if you want something more like [name_m]Ted[/name_m] or [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] maybe: [name_f]Teddi[/name_f], [name_m]Teddie[/name_m], Teddiora, Teddra

@victory55 @lonestar @RileyAddison13 I love the idea of [name_f]Edith[/name_f] “Edie” I hadn’t thought of that

@Emarkulics I love [name_m]Bear[/name_m] to honor [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] but unfortunately DH doesn’t like it :sob:
