Teddy bear names can make a simple stuffed toy feel truly magical. Giving your bear the right name transforms it into a loyal friend, one that shares secrets, adventures, and cozy moments. The perfect name reflects your bear’s personality and strengthens the bond you share. To help you choose, 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.

What a delightful and inspiring list! ???? I loved how you grouped names into “cute,” “good,” and “classic” it made browsing so much fun. As someone who’s always on the hunt for charming names, I couldn’t help but smile when I saw Noodle among the “Funny but Cute” picks. It instantly became my favourite; it’s playful, memorable, and just adorable for a cuddly friend. Thanks for filling my imagination with name ideas and reminding me how magical picking the perfect moniker can be.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so glad the list inspired you and brought a smile to your face. And “Noodle” really is adorable—it instantly makes a teddy even more special. I love how every favorite gets its own little story, starting with the perfect name. Wishing you lots of joy in picking and creating names for your cuddly friends!
This list made me smile — I never realized how much personality a simple name can give a teddy bear until now. I love how you grouped them into cute, good, and classic; it makes it easier to pick depending on the vibe. “Honeybun” and “Rupert” are two of my favorites from your list!
Do you find most people lean toward the playful names, or do the timeless classics still win out? And just curious — what’s the name of your very first teddy bear?
Aw, I’m so glad the list made you smile! Names really do give a teddy its own little personality, don’t they?
From what I’ve seen, playful names like Honeybun or Snuggles are super popular with newer makers (especially when the bear is meant as a gift), but the timeless classics like Rupert or Edward never go out of style — they’ve got that nostalgic charm.
And my very first teddy bear? His name was Mr. Fluffy— simple, but he was my little buddy for years.
What a surprise to find this site. We have a new niece and have been thinking of a first teddy bear as a gift. I had never thought about the possibilities for naming a bear or even the idea of naming the bear in the card that goes with it so our niece can grow knowing the name. You have offered lots and given them in categories. We had fun looking them over. Strangely enough, we have kind of settled on the name “Everly.” I don’t know why but it seems to be a great name. I hope others who read this article have as much fun as we did in selecting a name for that special bear. Thanks for the fun and the suggestion.
Oh, what a wonderful message! Thank you for sharing. I really love your idea of giving a teddy bear with a name so your little niece can grow up together with it. “Everly” sounds incredibly sweet and gentle, just perfect for a first bear. I’m sure this gift will become something truly special for her, bringing warmth and smiles for many years to come.
Hi Hanna. I came here wanting to get a cool name for my daughter’s teady bear. But I got way more than one name. Now I have several options. So far, my favorite is Angel cake
I also like the list of classic names. Lucas also has made it to the top of my list. Thanks for all these options.
So glad you found some favorites! Angel Cake is such a sweet and cozy name, and Lucas feels like a classic little friend who’s always there for cuddles. You really can’t go wrong with either one. Do you think your daughter will help pick, or will it be a surprise for her teddy?
Yes, I think we’ll have a good time deciding together what name would be best. We will get our favorite food, draw and even create stories for the different name options. Having a daughter is awesome!
Wow, you described it so beautifully! Those moments with your daughter are pure magic—snacks, creativity, and imagination. I’m sure together you’ll come up with the most perfect name!
