There’s something magical about giving your teddy bear a name. It transforms a simple stuffed toy into a loyal friend, one that shares secrets, adventures, and quiet evenings on the couch. Choosing the right name matters because it reflects your bear’s personality and the bond you create. To make things easier, here’s a collection of 200 teddy bear names: cute, good, and classic.
Naming a teddy bear can be as delightful as choosing a name for a pet. Some people draw inspiration from a bear’s appearance—fluffy white fur might suit “Snowball,” while a big golden teddy could be “Sunny.” Others prefer names linked to books or pop culture, like “Paddington” or “Baloo.”
And for many, traditional names feel the most comforting, especially if the bear is meant to be a lifelong keepsake. The key is to pick something that makes you smile every time you say it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Teddy Bear Names
How can I make my teddy bear’s name more special?
Once you’ve chosen a name, you can personalize it with small details. Dress your bear in a tiny outfit—“Captain Cuddles” in a sailor suit or “Princess Snuggle” in a sparkly dress. You might embroider the name on a ribbon, create a mini birth certificate, or even write little stories featuring your bear. For more inspiration, explore our free teddy bear making patterns.
Should I give my teddy bear a human name or a unique one?
Both work! Some people prefer classic human names like Oliver or Emily because they feel warm and familiar. Others love quirky, playful names that highlight the bear’s personality. It all depends on what feels right to you.
Can I rename a teddy bear after years of having it?
Yes. Many teddy bear lovers rename their bears as their stories evolve. For example, collectors often buy vintage bears that arrive without names—or with one that doesn’t feel personal—and give them a fresh identity. Children sometimes rename a beloved bear as they grow older; “Fluffy” at age six might become “Max” at age twelve. Even artists who make bears occasionally let new owners choose a name that feels right. Renaming can create a new layer of connection, almost like giving your bear a second life.
What’s a creative way to come up with a teddy bear name?
Look at your bear’s color, texture, or outfit. For example, a white bear could be called “Snowdrop,” and a bear in red pajamas might become “Cherry.” You can also draw inspiration from books, movies, or family traditions.
