It's Official!!!

We have introduced our little friend previously without an official name. We started off with Ted temporarily. It made sense to have Ted as a teddy's name.

Being the people we are, we think too much and had a Sunday morning meeting to give Ted an official name, a name we could agree on. Chosi came into Jin's mind for the many reasons as I tried to google the top Californian boys' names. We do love California. Jose was one of them and I really liked it. Diego made it into my list too, but it didn't fit Ted. If we had a jaguar, I would have called the jaguar Diego.

Anyway, along came other names such as Aidan and Chester. We tried a Korean name, Jeon. It meant pancake. Do I want Ted to have a name of a pancake significance? [bleah]. Other random non-existent boy names came into our discussion such as Wept, Twip and Pwet. We knew they were not going to make our list for Ted's names. It is a Sunday morning after all. I thought our Ted should somewhat be food-related but googling this was a disaster. Names such as ale, alfredo, bartlett, wellington and chip came up. Then, Kersen struck as a beautiful name. So I thought. Kersen meant cherry. I liked Darrell or Daryl but Jin thought the names belonged to more senior people, but it meant beloved. Isn't it sweet to call Ted beloved?

Felix next. It meant happy and prosperous but Jin thought of Sonic and Felix the cat. Throughout time, we still loved ted as Ted. Divine gift. Girvan came into our minds too as it meant the rough little one but we name proof it a gazillion times and thought it might lead to heaps of typo in our upcoming posts. Felix the ted, Ted the bear, Felix the ted. After spending so much time on it, Ted still made it to the top 2. The irony of it all.

We decided we needed help [and yes, as a team we agreed to Ted].
If this is how we name our little teddy bear, imagine the days when we have children.

So, it's official. Ted the bear.
