It's cute, don't get me wrong. I wouldn't use it hardly at all, though, I will be honest. If it's possible, I want to enter a name similar to Ted. It's a name called Ted Teddy, which can be either a name where you call them T.T. but that, of course, wouldn't be the most intelligent option. It just depends on the parent, honestly. Anyways, cute name!!
