As a mom of several wonderful, bustling children, our home is always filled with joy, laughter, and, of course, an array of colorful stuffed animals.
Each one has its own unique personality, or so my kids would have me believe.
I’ve been tasked with the crucial responsibility of naming these adorable stuffed friends more times than I can count. From the cherished teddy bear that my oldest son keeps tucked under his arm each night, to the whimsical unicorn my youngest daughter totes everywhere, each stuffed animal forms an important part of their lives.
But finding the right names for stuffed animals can be a challenge!
That’s why I put together this list of stuffed animal names that can give you the inspiration you need. Let’s dig in!
How to Choose a Name for Your Stuffed Animal?
Start by considering the stuffed animal’s characteristics.
Is it a traditional teddy bear, an exotic animal, or perhaps a favorite cartoon character? Use these traits as inspiration. A fluffy brown bear could be named “Cocoa” or “Chestnut”, while a stuffed elephant might suit a name like “Ellie” or “Peanut.”
Next, think about your child’s interests and favorite things.
If they’re fascinated by outer space, names like “Star” or “Comet” could be fitting. If they love a particular book, movie, or TV show, consider names from that universe.
Lastly, remember that names can be changed.
If a name just doesn’t seem to “stick,” or if your child’s interests shift, there’s no harm in renaming the stuffed animal. After all, the most important thing is that your child feels a connection to their plush friend.
For example, Squishmallows come with names, but you can always change it!
Did you know you can also personalize your stuffed animal? That’s right! Check out the video below!
