Her name is Theodora.

Why not just name her Teddy? If there is a reason that holds you back from doing that, for the love of Jesus don’t saddle her with either of those names.

I love both of these OP. I have a cousin Theodosia and we've always called her Thea. Named after a grandmother.

Love Theodora but also throwing out there the reverse name- Dorothea

Yeah no

I prefer Theodora, but I like both! Thea as a nickname, pronounced like Tea, as in Tea Leoni.

Maybe Edwina could be Teddy?

I have always loved this name!

I was just watching Hamilton again last night and thought of how pretty the name Theodosia is and how Thea is a cute nickname. Go for it! Plus it’s a beautiful song.

With teddy the first thing that comes to mind is a lingerie garment.

Theodosia just makes me think of Hamilton. I really do like Theodora. I worry about it going the way of Roberta (feminine version too strange to use) but don’t think it should so you should use it.

I think it’s good to give people options for as they age. A female Teddy is unlikely to go by Ted so Theodora or Theodosia offer lots of options.

Because Teddy is a horrible name- or nickname- for girl.
