Let's not skip over JohnJuan's context so fast. It might merit a second look.

![teddy][1]

[1]: teddy

He's right. It does look cute and cuddly.

Hmm, you don't need to write the word in, just click on the square, or you are doing that on purpuse? - 00494d19, SEP 12, 2009
Yes, I didn't want anyone to misconstrue why I posted the picture. I mean we were looking at her garment weren't we? - 0074b507, SEP 12, 2009

Teddy is a short form of Edward - Edward is Eduardo in Spanish and the diminutive is Eduardito. So Teddy could be Eduardito

Teddy is also a short form of Theodore, which is Teodoro en español.

I would have to say that Teddy is simply Teddy in spanish. Verizon is still Verizon in spanish and Taco Bell is still Taco Bell. I am sure this isn't the answer your looking for but if your name is ___________ than it's ___________ in any language. I understand the novelty of "changing" your name to a "spanish equilvalent" but... I hope this helps and I am by no means trying to be snobbish about this. Sometimes a name is a name. smile

If you just want a word for "stuffed toy" then you can use "muñeco de peluche."

The problem is that "teddy" is not an adjective in English. A teddy bear is a specific thing, named that when President Teddy Roosevelt decided not to shoot a cute baby bear. You're always finding translations for "teddy bear" because "teddy bear" is an expression, but the word "teddy" isn't commonly used outside of that.

Teddy could be Teodorito as a name. If it is a lingerie garment, it would not be capitalized. I don't know the word for that, but underclothing is ropa interior.

What kind of teddy? The name, or the clothing?

If it refers to the garment, it shouldn't be capitalized. - samdie, SEP 12, 2009
