The meaning of this name "gift of God" seems so fitting. I had dog named Teddy, and that dog was one the best friends I ever had.

A nickname for a little boy, and an old-fashioned one at that. Then there's the Teddy bear association.

I love teddy bears, but Teddy is too cutesy as a given name. It's better off as a nickname. Now I'm even seeing people spell it Teddie and give it to girls, like with Lily Allen's half-sister. It sounds cutesier and rather infantile on a girl.

Teddy is absolutely the CUTEST nickname anybody could ever have! I love this name, but a) only on boys, and b) as a nickname (particularly for the name Theodore). This nickname is so cute, it even made the very evil character Theodore (Teddy) "T-Bag" Bagwell on the show Prison Break a little more likeable!

This is an adorable nickname for a boy or man of any age.

To the whole "Good Luck, Charlie" thing, I'm thinking her name is Theodora. Teddy is a cute nickname for a girl, too.
