THE IMPORTANCE OF THE NAME

Although some comforters have proper names like Winnie the Pooh, Paddington, Ted, and even Mozart, it's always important to find a more personal name.

A name makes the teddy bear more than just a toy. It makes the teddy bear familiar to your child and gives them a sense of belonging and connection.

Giving a name to your cuddly toy is a bigger responsibility than we think.

Just like your child, the name you give to the teddy bear will be attached to this stuffed animal forever .

HOW TO NAME YOUR CUDDLY 

You received soft toys after mentioning it on a birth list or as a birthday present. Now that you have the perfect gift in your hands, are you wondering what name to give the toy? In most cases it is an impulsive decision that will decide, but it is better to take a look before naming it.
For the less decisive, you can guide them through a small discovery phase in order to preselect a few options.

Here are some tips to help you achieve this:

EXAMINE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DOUDOU

Is it a boy or a girl? Any other distinguishing features that would categorize the toy? Maybe it is very soft or very soft or even ultra-soft?

You can also look at the shape of the toy, if it's a white rabbit, an elephant or a lion, the names may change. For a brown bear plush you can call it Teddy if it's a cow or even an owl you can give it a more rural name, etc.

Fur, eyes, clothes (if any) . All of these can provide clues that will aid in the naming process.

Also think about the origin of the child but also his sex, for a baby-boy or a baby-girl why not give a name in relation to a story that you read to him every evening?

What is the size of the toy? Is it a giant plush , a big plush or a small plush?

The place in which you place the toy can also have an influence on whether you rather want to use the toy as a decoration in a children's room or in a baby's room or even in a crib.

WHAT IS THE THEME OF THE TOY?

Is it a themed comforter? Is he wearing a policeman costume or even a ballerina costume?

You can use this to name the teddy bear after a hero policeman or a famous ballerina.

THE STYLE OF THE DOUDOU...

Some comforters simply give off a certain personality who can push you in the direction that will suit the teddy bear.

Brainstorm, make a selection and have fun!
After taking a close look at your child's cute plush toy, it's now time to let them choose the name.

Don't forget that it is essential that it is your child who chooses the name of his cuddly toy. You can shake things up by making a few suggestions.
Make a list of the main cuddly toy names that your child likes and let him choose.

If the list is long, try to make it fun for your child. You can try drawing names from a box of toys if your child has trouble choosing names.

Tossing a coin is another fun way to choose a name , especially if there are only two names to choose from.

If you can't find any names, we've got you covered by compiling a list of popular cuddly toy names to help you on your way. Let's go!

FIND A NAME FOR A DOUDOU IN AN ORIGINAL WAY

There are so many great names for teddy bears, it's no wonder if your child doesn't want to settle for just one .

It's okay to be indecisive, but it's also important to take this opportunity to teach your child how to make a decision when the choices are tough. After all, not every choice made in life will be easy, and sometimes you just have to find a way to make the decision!

Here are some child-friendly ways to make a decision:

CHOOSE FROM A HAT

Have your child choose their favorite names and write them on pieces of paper, then glue them all into a hat. Let them choose the name from the hat.

CHOOSE BY MATCHING SET

Cut squares of paper and write the names your child likes on separate pieces, but make two cards for each name. Then arrange them with the writing and ask the child to turn them over one at a time. The first match your child makes will become the name! Make him wait when he turns over the first card, for example "Teddy", and says "Will his name be Teddy...?

THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION: TOLL

If there are only two names, this one can work very well! Heads is name A, and heads is name B.
Now that you have some name ideas and know how to help your child come up with them, what name will they choose? Only he can give you the answer, such is the charm of this technique!

This is very useful especially if the toddler does not yet know how to say words!

THE FIRST NAME GIVEN TO A PLUSH IN HISTORY

Do you know how the name of the first soft toy in the world got its name? Here is his amazing story!

One of the most beloved toys in the world has been named for President Theodore Roosevelt , after he refused to shoot a bear on a hunting trip in Mississippi in November 1902. During the trip, guides clubbed a bear and tied it up to a tree, then invited the president to kill him. Instead, Roosevelt, an avid outdoorsman and hunter, refused, saying it would be unsportsmanlike to kill a helpless animal this way.

The incident received national attention and was portrayed in a popular political cartoon by Clifford Berryman. (According to some sources, the newspaper cartoon, titled "Drawing the Line in Mississippi," referred not only to Roosevelt's refusal to shoot the cub, but also to his handling of a border dispute between Mississippi and Louisiana. .

Other sources have suggested the cartoon was a commentary on the president's progressive stance on race relations). Inspired by the cartoon, storekeeper Morris Michtom and his wife Rose made a stuffed fabric bear in Brooklyn, New York, in honor of the 26th Commander-in-Chief of the United States and displayed with a "Teddy's bear" sign in their storefront , where he sparked interest from customers. After reportedly writing to the president and obtaining permission to use his name for their creation, the Michtoms established a thriving business making teddy bears and other toys.

Meanwhile, around the same time the Michtoms were developing their bear, a German company founded in 1880 by seamstress Margarete Steiff began making a teddy bear of her own. Designed in 1902 by Steiff's nephew Richard, who modeled it after real bears he had drawn at the zoo, the hinged-limbed mohair bear debuted at a German toy fair in 1903 .

Sometimes things seem simple, but they are still difficult. From then on, we asked our members at Univers Peluche and our respective loved ones questions to find out how during their childhood they had found a name for their favorite toy. So the question was simple: "How did you choose a name for your favorite comforter/teddy bear/doll/toy?"

And here is a selection of answers that will help you choose the name of your cuddly toy :)

"Some doll names for my children were characters from stories I was writing. Others came to me on my own. Finally, for some, I search for names that I like and usually end up How to choose them for my newborn's :P "

“One of the comforters (a flamingo) is a character from one of my stories that I used to tell my younger child. couldn't find an easy name for my child. We had made a few attempts and then I gave up. Then I chose a name that my daughter liked so now I'm quite happy and I even found her a role in one of my stories that I often tell my children at night.Finally, for the third cuddly toy (a kind of cuddly lion cuddly toy) which is more of a cuddly toy, it gave me a lot of trouble between the time I ordered it and the where I received her. At the time, my best friend was joking on the way to the nursery saying that I had created a sage for my children with all my stories so called her Saga, which immediately made its effect and has pleased everyone ever since and I never considered changing it. ”

"I usually find my names in movies or books. But for the first toy that was an original gift, it came from a comic book. My son never hated it so we kept the name".

"I usually choose the name (as well as the personality and the background) before I even buy it (the plush). I've always had a passion for writing, so it seems natural to me to have such a development. Well sure such a process creates a very strong bond between the toy and me. However, it does not prevent me from giving strange names like stuffing because the last one (a pale pink cat soft toy) was well stuffed with its special stuffing "

"Alternatively, it could be the name of a celebrity or a TV series character. If I really don't have any inspiration then I search online for names that I think would fit the character in question. "

A FEW TIPS FOR THE END FOR SOFT TOYS AND TEDDY BEAR

TAKE CARE OF THESE TOYS

Children become attached to their stuffed toys. They refuse to leave the house without it, so make sure you give your child something handy enough to take anywhere.

You don't have to worry about teddy bears replacing you, rather they are an extension of you.

If possible, involve your child in bathing their teddy bear.
Teddy bears are much more than toys or stuffed objects. They are invaluable and can help your child deal with stress, fear, and they can even help him learn to calm down to become independent in the future.

For maintenance, also pay attention, how is the washing? Is it machine washable? What is the material that make up the toy because its maintenance can vary.

OFFER A TEDDY BEAR

Children can become very attached to a bear they have received from a special someone, whether that person is gone or still in their life. Giving a teddy bear makes them remember you, and that in itself is something special.

Another way to give the comfort of a teddy bear is to let the child choose it for themselves. The latter will not only allow the child to fully personalize their teddy bear, but also to link it to the memories of the time you spent together making it!
