We want to name our baby [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] if it is a girl. I want to use it as a full name. I am not into long frilly girl names like [name_f]Theodora[/name_f]. I like cool unisex names. I am having a hard time finding a good middle name to go with it. Any suggestions on a middle name? Our last name begins with a B.
We already have one girl [name_u]Charley[/name_u] [name_u]Harper[/name_u].
If the baby is a boy we are going to name him [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m].
I’m sorry, but I really dislike [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] for a girl unless it’s a nickname. As an adult it would be hard to go by [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] in the professional world.
[name_u]Tobin[/name_u], [name_u]Terry[/name_u], and [name_u]Teal[/name_u] are some other T unisex names.
I think [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] is cute for a little girl. I really like boyish nicknames for girls, though (like [name_u]Charley[/name_u] - very cute!) I know a high school aged [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] whose full name is [name_f]Teodora[/name_f]. I prefer it as a short-form of a longer name, but if you are literally never going to use the full-form and really dislike it, then I wouldn’t bother with it.
I knew a girl named [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] growing up, I think it was a nn but I have no idea what it was a nn for. She always only went by [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]. I think it works just fine of a girl because the image of a [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_m]Bear[/name_m] gives it some softness.
My 2nd cousin named her daughter [name_f]Teddi[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f].
If your last name is more than 3 syllables than I would stick to 2 or less syllables for the middle name, but I think that’s more your style anyway. I’m just gonna brain dump a bunch…
I personally like longer middle names with a short peppy first name so these would be up my alley:
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_f]Athena[/name_f]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_u]Julianne[/name_u]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_f]Lenore[/name_f]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_f]Loraine[/name_f]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u]
I love [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] for a girl. I think it is very spunky and sweet, yet has a backbone and would age well (it sounds great with [name_u]Charley[/name_u], too).
For middles that go with [name_u]Charley[/name_u] [name_u]Harper[/name_u], maybe:
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u], [name_u]Auden[/name_u], [name_u]Eden[/name_u], [name_u]Arden[/name_u], [name_f]Avalon[/name_f], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_u]Roan[/name_u], [name_f]Maren[/name_f], [name_f]Marin[/name_f], [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_u]Scout[/name_u], [name_u]Jean[/name_u], [name_u]Marlow[/name_u] / [name_f]Marlo[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Asha[/name_f], [name_f]Harlow[/name_f], [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], [name_u]Sloane[/name_u], [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_f]Pippa[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Neva[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_u]Everly[/name_u].
I do not care if you do not like the name Teddy.I just want to know middle name suggestions. Thank you to everyone else for your suggestions! Keep them coming!
[name_u]Charley[/name_u] and [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] go nicely together!
[name_m]Just[/name_m] a side note… To me any name ages well. I have known plenty of middle aged people who have a nicknamey name and it works nicely for them. One is a lawyer and she told me no one has a problem with it. I asked when we were considering [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] for our first daughter almost a decade ago. Still trying to wrap my head around [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] not working in the professional world, but [name_u]Teal[/name_u] working in a professional setting.
Go with [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] but spell it [name_m]Teddie[/name_m] or just plain [name_f]Teddi[/name_f]… if she goes to summer camp “[name_u]Teddy[/name_u]” might go to a boy cabin but “[name_f]Teddi[/name_f]/[name_m]Teddie[/name_m]” would probably be assigned to a girl’s cabin. My friend [name_u]Carson[/name_u] was assigned to a boy’s cabin but she was moved to mine after showing up. I don’t mind parents using unisex names but if you name a girl [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] [name_u]Drew[/name_u] I’m going to assume it’s a boy unless I see a magazine about [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] [name_m]Simpson[/name_m]'s daughter. If all else fails name the girl [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]/[name_f]Teddi[/name_f]/[name_m]Teddie[/name_m] [name_u]Brooke[/name_u] or use a heavily feminine middle.
Thanks for all the great suggestions! I l[name_m]Ike[/name_m] to spell [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] with a y because our daughters name [name_u]Charley[/name_u] ends in a Y and our last name has Y in it so it looks nice together.
So far my favorite suggestions are [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_u]Alexis[/name_u] and [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_u]Skylar[/name_u]! Not sure if they are the perfect fit but they are in the running.
[name_u]Charley[/name_u] [name_u]Harper[/name_u] – are you a [name_u]Charley[/name_u] [name_u]Harper[/name_u] fan? I think he’s great.
You’ve already stated that you don’t like girly/frilly names and considering your first daughter’s name, this applies to the middle name as well. You also don’t seem to mind boys names on girls. I’m going to try to stick to that theme…sorry for repeats!
