Boy Names

Ideas for formal names for [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]? Other than [name_m]Edward[/name_m] or [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]…

2

[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] comes to mind.

Some of these are a stretch, but I think you know that any name past [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_m]Edward[/name_m] will be. I think all of these are definitely usable!!

[name_m]Edison[/name_m]
[name_m]Edgar[/name_m]
[name_m]Edwin[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] ([name_m]Frederick[/name_m] --> [name_m]Fred[/name_m] --> Ted --> [name_u]Teddy[/name_u])
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] ([name_m]Thad[/name_m] --> [name_m]Tad[/name_m] --> Ted --> [name_u]Teddy[/name_u])
[name_m]Stedman[/name_m] or [name_m]Steadman[/name_m] (Stedman --> [name_u]Teddy[/name_u])
[name_m]Tedson[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodoros[/name_m]

You could do something like [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] (ie Thomas [name_m]ED[/name_m]mund = TED) or make his initials spell TED (ie [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_m]Eamon[/name_m] [name_m]Dex[/name_m] = TED).

Thoughts on these ideas/name suggestions? Good luck naming :slight_smile:

Fiodor ([name_m]Theodore[/name_m] in russian)
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] (and [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] as a nickname)
[name_m]Edwin[/name_m]
[name_m]Edgar[/name_m]
[name_m]Edison[/name_m]
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]

The only other name I can add is [name_m]Espen[/name_m]. [name_m]Espen[/name_m] means “God’s [name_m]Bear[/name_m]”, so [name_m]Espen[/name_m] “[name_u]Teddy[/name_u]” would work in my opinion. I personally adore [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] as a full name. [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] is in my top 10. [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] fits right in with all the other nickname type names out there these days…and they are only getting more popular.

We’re naming our boy due any day now [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] but plan on calling him [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]. I also love [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] and wish I could convince dh to use it as a full name for [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] but he’s not as fond.
