Top 10 Tips for Naming Your Favorite Stuffed Animals

1. Base Its Name According To The Animal Type

The first thing we like doing when picking the perfect name for our plushies is to look at their specific type.

For example, stuffed toy bears are super cuddly, so we might name them Cuddles or Softy, apart from the famous name Teddy (after Theodore Roosevelt) for a boy teddy bear.

A stuffed giraffe would have majestic legs, so the stuffed animal's name could be Mr. Long Legs!

2. Try Playing With Words

We love made-up names that rhyme and are perfect for many stuffed animals!

Funny teddy bear names include Fuzzy Wuzzy, for a handsome teddy that's super fuzzy and soft.

How about a stuffed Great Dane that doesn't look that great? Plain Dane sounds like just the right name!

Get creative with your name ideas and see how the words roll out of your tongue!

3. Base On Its Appearance

A clever naming process for a stuffed animal toy is to examine its appearance. Look for any special features that stand out.

Here's what we consider when choosing names for plushies based on their apperances:

Color and pattern of its fur
Its size and shape
Special additions, like long necks, horns, antlers, tusks, fins, and webbed feet

If your daughter has a handsome silver seal, name it Silver. That stuffed fish with fins, name it Finster. No one's stopping you from being silly with your plushies.

4. Base It On The Animal’s Theme

Some people like collecting soft toys from a specific theme (for example, only jungle-based stuffed animals or creatures from the sea).

You can choose to name the stuffed animals according to their theme or pick popular names from a movie or TV show that synchronizes.

For example, if you own a large sea creature collection, you can take inspiration from Finding Nemo.

The orange stuffed fish could be Nemo, the blue stuffed fish could be Dory, and Pearl could be the purple octopus.

5. Name It After Popular Characters

You can also get inspiration from popular characters in naming your fluff buddy. This is a great tip for when you struggle to pick out a name! You can use a name generator to find a great name for your stuffed toy.

If your stuffed animal is a honey-colored teddy bear, name it Winnie the Pooh! A few names for dogs are Clifford, Pluto, and Goofy!

I am a big fan of movie and book characters so I have named my plushies with popular names like Narla, Kitty, Teddy, Yogi, Panda, and Gummy.

6. Name It After A Family Member/Friends

This next tip always makes us giggle — it's a surefire way to bring laughs to everyone!

Suppose you have a teddy bear or other stuffed animal that reminds you of one of your family members or friends.

A stuffed monkey that looks like your little boy Jared or a teddy bear in a pink dress that reminds you of your best friend, Cassie.

In that case, there is nothing wrong with naming your new furry friend after them!

7. Get Inspiration From Cultural Heritage

Go back to your roots and get inspiration from your cultural heritage by naming your teddy bears and other stuffed animals.

Since my mom has an Asian heritage, I asked her to tell me some life stories from when my grandmother was still living in Taiwan.

Take note of cool words and all the favorite names you could use to name your important childhood toy [1]! But what are the most popular stuffed animal brands?

8. Use A Unique & Different Language

A unique stuffed animal calls for a unique name. If you love Greek mythology, search for unique Greek names that you can give to your teddy bear and other stuffed toys.

Check out their meanings and determine whether or not your favorite names suit your stuffed friend.

An example would be if you owned a stuffed gray horse that looked like it could run fast. You could choose to name it Hermes, after the fastest Greek God!

9. Use Alliteration

You can also use alliterations for stuffed animal names! I discovered that alliterations are groups of words that sound like one another.

How about funny names like Snowy Chloe for a new white teddy bear or Thunder Thumper for a beautiful stuffed black horse that looks like each thump of his hoof will clap like thunder?

10. Choosing Off-Beat Stuffed Animal Names

Of course, we know that a few creatives can't be conformed to common trains of thought. You can choose off-beat, funny names for your plush toys!

Sometimes, we name stuffed animals because we love how they sound. So go ahead—name that vibrant stuffed cheetah Slowpoke… just because you feel like it!

Personalization Beyond Naming

While naming your stuffed animal is an important first step in creating a bond, there are many other ways to personalize your plush friend:

Custom Accessories

Consider adding personalized accessories to your stuffed animals:

Mini t-shirts with their names
Tiny hats or scarves in their favorite colors
Custom collars for stuffed dogs or cats
Small backpacks or pouches for "carrying" tiny treasures

Creating Backstories

Every great stuffed animal deserves a great backstory:

Where did they come from?
What are their special powers or abilities?
Who are their friends and family?
What adventures have they been on?

Creating these stories helps children develop creativity and emotional connections with their plush companions.

Display and Organization

As your collection grows, consider creative ways to display and organize your named friends:

Special shelves with name tags
Stuffed animal hammocks or nets
Display cases for collector's items
Themed groupings (ocean friends, woodland creatures, etc.)

FAQs

If you don't want sole autonomy over the teddy bear [3] names, you can list a few ideas and ultimately let your child choose.

How can I involve the child in naming their stuffed animals?

Involving children in naming their stuffed animals can foster creativity and a sense of ownership. That way, you can have cute names for your cuddly plush toys.

Ask them questions about the toy's character traits or play interactive games to brainstorm names together to get the perfect name.

Can I change the name of a stuffed animal toy?

Yes, names can always be changed. Sometimes, a new sweet name might feel more fitting or fun as a child grows or one's attachment to the toy evolves.

Even adults [4] can change the names of their cuddly plush toys. A name generator can also provide more cute name ideas.

How do I name a stuffed animal after someone special?

Naming a stuffed animal after someone can be a touching tribute. You can use the person's actual name or a nickname that captures their essence. If you decide to name them after your family, kids, or anyone else, avoid naming them with offending prefixes.

Consider combining aspects of their cute name with playful or endearing prefixes or suffixes, like "Mikey Moose" or "Jenny Giraffe."

How do I care for collectible or limited edition stuffed animals?

Collectible and limited edition stuffed animals often require special care to maintain their value. For our exclusive licensed products, we recommend display cases or protective covers to prevent dust accumulation. Avoid direct sunlight which can fade fabrics, and handle with clean hands to prevent oils from transferring to the plush. For cleaning, only spot clean with appropriate solutions recommended for collector's items.
