Would like a more “formal” name to get to the nn [name]Teddy[/name].
[name]Edward[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Edwin[/name]
[name]Edmond[/name]
anything else?! I am not loving any of these options! 
[name]Theodore[/name] or [name]Arthur[/name] for me. I know [name]Arthur[/name] isn’t on your list and it’s too obscure for most people to get [name]Teddy[/name] from, but I think it’s adorable. Mainly because I hate most nicknames for [name]Arthur[/name] haha.
thank you! anyone else? any other name that could get me to [name]Teddy[/name]?
[name]Theodore[/name] or [name]Edmund[/name] are my favorites to get to [name]Teddy[/name].
thank you, anyone else have any other options?
[name]Edgar[/name]
Eddrick/[name]Edrich[/name]
[name]Theron[/name]
Tedmond/[name]Tedmund[/name]- I know a [name]Tedman[/name] but I prefer a D at the end
[name]Edison[/name]
[name]Eden[/name]/[name]Edan[/name]
I love [name]Teddy[/name]… I think [name]Theodore[/name] is the best, but my hubby wouldn’t go for it!
[name]Edison[/name]/[name]Eddison[/name] is nice.
[name]Edwin[/name]? [name]Edsel[/name]? Tedford?
Definitely [name]Theodore[/name], nn [name]Teddy[/name]!! It’s at the top of my list – one of my loves!! I also like [name]Edison[/name] if you want to go the more unique route.
thanks! i think theodore might be my fav - it also gives the nn theo which i also like 
I found these names as other possibilities. I know a lot of them are out there but I figured I would suggest them just in case.

wow, thank you so much!
We used [name]Edison[/name], but I love [name]Theodore[/name] as well.
[name]Auberon[/name]/[name]Oberon[/name] - since you can hear “bear” in there, which could then lead to “[name]Teddy[/name]”
[name]Orson[/name] - latin origin, meaning “bear” so same thing, it could easily lead to the nn [name]Teddy[/name].

I personally like the name [name]Teddy[/name] for a name and [name]Ted[/name] for a nickname! super cute, yet I still find it manly!
[name]Theodore[/name] for sure!! And that way if he ends up not liking [name]Teddy[/name] he has [name]Theo[/name] to fall back on.
[name]Theodore[/name], as [name]Teddy[/name] is the same length as the other names you listed. Therefore the nickname would be pointless.
