When you child is young there will be a lot of toys that come and go, never to be seen again.
But stuffed animals are often a different story, with many people keeping their favorite childhood stuffed animal well into adulthood, especially if the toy has been kept safe in a memory box.
Stuffed animals come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from tiny bunnies to huge elephants and everything in between.
And while it’s easy to write them off as a mere toy, stuffed animals, loveys and dolls often have a much more important role as they can provide emotional support when children deal with stressful experiences such as starting daycare or preschool or transitioning out of a crib.
So your little one’s most important toy needs an awesome name that does it full justice!

Tips When Choosing Names For Stuffed Animals
- Keep Things Simple: Don’t forget the stuffed animal is your child’s toy nor yours, so depending on your little one’s age encourage them to choose a name they can easily remember and pronounce!
- Don’t Force Things: There will probably be a few names that you or your partner particularly like, but if your child is less sure on those names it’s best not to force the issue.
- Consider What The Stuffed Animal Looks Like: Why not take your inspiration from what the stuffed animal actually looks like when choosing its name.
- Create A Shortlist: Finding it tough to narrow down to just the one name? Try writing your favorite names down on a list and say the names out loud with your chid.
- Test Drive The Name(s): Even once you’ve chosen a name it can take a few days for it to be accepted by your child. So if you still cannot decide, try calling the stuffed animal by a few different names and see which one sticks.
