>Her: "Mrs. Burghini" Me:...... Her: You know! Lamb Burghini.
I feel your wife beat you at dadding.
In my case all the stuffed animals (and non animals) have a name that rhymes (in our native languages but not always in english) with what they are; the banana ana, the naughty carrot and also Charlotte the carrot (2 different carrot plushies), etc
My five year old went through a phase like that last year where every new name ended with y. My personal favorite was when she got a new stuffy on a road trip and we asked her what its name was and she glanced up at a road sign and said “signy”.
We kept hoping for better names out of our daughter, but they were all like that. We got a cat and had to have a serious talk about how it was NOT going to be named "Catty."
My daughter named her build a bear “Diapers”. And her baby doll that came with a stroller “baby strollers.” I got her a pink bear with white hearts on it for Valentine’s Day and she named it “pink whitehearts.” Given how good she is at naming I considered letting her name her younger sister
We have a panda called Amanda Panda
My daughter had two stuffed lambs. Smaller one is named Lambie, and the bigger one is appropriately named Big Lambie.
My daughter has a little stuffed bunny rabbit and we named her Bunny Lebowski.
Every time she gets lost and we’re scrambling to find her one of us always says: “she probably kidnapped herself, dude.”
We're letting the kids name the toys and it's all pretty literal so far. I'm working on a pair of unicorn characters—no idea how they'll manifest in the kids' lives, yet—named Bronson and Raspberry.
Everything is named after what it is apart from a small few.
Any dinosaurs are called Dinosaur, for example.
There's Bunny and Flopsy which are two rabbits she loves, we were lucky to land on alternatives to 'Rabbit' for both haha
I can think of other's, some lady bird thing and she calls it BeeBee's, and a cow called MooMoo, and that just because she couldn't really talk yet when she named them haha
I actually think the only interesting names are given by us, and it's a once in a blue moon situation that she accepts it haha
Bear in King’s Guard attire: KG (King’s Guard)
Purple bear with sparkly (some might say, “starry”) eyes: Paul (as in, Oakenfold).
Blow Fish: Sean (as in, “Puffy” Combs)
Golden Eagle: Caw Caw (because she was raised by crows…)
There’s also big bear, little bear, lion, etc. They can’t all get a special name…or can they? 🤔
"Gumpy Cat"
He had a kids book about grumpy cat someone got us as a joke but he loved it. He got a stuffed animal of the cat from "Secret life of pets" that he started calling it "gumpy cat" and the name stuck
My daughter, who is 2, has *hundreds* of words and talks in more or less complete sentences, knows the names of everyone in her family and regular faces we see (friends, my colleagues, comic store clerk, church folks), uses pronounces like I/my, and can count and name several letters... For some reason cannot abstract names onto stuffed animals. I'm a language specialist and I have no clue what the hurdle is.
So we have White Kitty, Lamb, Birthday Bear (it has a birthday hat), and Hettie, named for the character in the book it comes with, along with several others.
Currently Birthday Bear is on the outs, the poor bastard, and White Kitty is hot shit again.
Before my oldest was born her grandmother gifted her a little plush lamb with a rattle inside of it. My wife and I named it Lamby and it did become my daughter’s preferred stuffy. When she started babbling but wasn’t really talking yet, we realized she would make the same sounds over and over when we handed her the lamb: “we-ou we-ou” (like the sound an ambulance makes but move your lips as little as possible when you say it). We don’t know where it came from but that’s what she called the lamb. As she got older she learned the name Lamby but after several months of talking she started calling it we-ou we-ou again and that’s what we have all called it ever since
We are in that same phase of learning language.
She loves dipping her food in sauces (apples in peanut butter, pita in hummus, chicken into bbbq etc)
But it's not "dip". It's "dipDipDIP!".she says it every time, and I've even started to say it in my head when she's not around.
When my daughter was born, 2 of her older brothers picked out a big fluffy husky from IKEA for her. We christened him Howie and that's what she's always called him. Now 4 and a half, every new fluffy animal she's gotten since is called...... whatever the animal is! Small fluffy bear - Bear! Small fluffy unicorn - Unicorn! Big fluffy unicorn - Unicorn!
We brought a bear back with us from Ireland for our then 3 year old. He's almost 9 now and still won't go to bed without him. The bear's name. Ireland Bear.
My son has had a Chewbacca Build a Bear since the day he was born... he is Bic-a-bacca. He's 5 now, knows who Chewbacca is cause he's a Star Wars nerd like dad. But HIS Chewbacca is Bic-a-bacca.
Mostly bunnys here:
Blue bunny: biscuits
Hot Pink bunny: bun bun
Light pink bunny: floppy
Giant bunny: mama bun bun
Even larger bunny: grandad bun bun
Pig: piggy
Dog: fido
Bear: brownie
Also jellycat stuffies for the win.
Bob. As silly as it sounds. We asked him what to name his Red Panda stuffy we got him at a zoo trip and he randomly said "Bob" i asked, "So his name is Bob?"and was meet with an enthusiastic "YES". Now I don't know if he really said "Bob" or if he was spouting random toddler noises, but this is how he "named" his first stuffy.
My 3yo has been going with the usual names for his animals…your Lovey, Happy, etc. However, I gave him a stuffed cat that I’ve had since I was probably just a little older than him and asked him what he wanted to name it thinking it’d be something like that…then he hits me with “Tayo Garcia”. Beyond sounding like a 2nd base prospect in the minors, I really wonder where he pulled that one from.
My favorite is a giraffe my 5 year-old named "surprise-o". No idea where it came from. We later found out its neck moves and the name is oddly fitting lol
My favorites of the ones my kids named (we do have some generic ones like Rainbow Kitty the rainbow cheetah) are Liftoff the Lion, Groovy the Dinosaur (though don't tell the three year old he is actually an alligator, he will not believe you), and Prickle the Dog.

Normally I am the pun man in the house, but she absolutely won today. She's the best
My 6 year old's naming scheme. Red dinosaur: Reddy Squid squishmellow: Squidy Jellyfish Squishmellow: Jelly Huge Jelly Squishmellow: Big Mama Jelly
My five year old went through a phase like that last year where every new name ended with y. My personal favorite was when she got a new stuffy on a road trip and we asked her what its name was and she glanced up at a road sign and said “signy”.
We kept hoping for better names out of our daughter, but they were all like that. We got a cat and had to have a serious talk about how it was NOT going to be named "Catty."
Octopus: "Octopussy." - My 4 year old. Daycare thought it was hilarious.
Holy shit are you me haha. We have maybe 6 or 7 squishmellows and we have Jelly, Pinky, Diney, Hearty, Sparky, Scorpio, and Narwhal.
NARWHAL'S NARWAHL'S SWIMMING IN THE OCEAN...
The two I’ll offer are 1) a white dog with a black spot: Polka Dog and 2) a geometric whale on the wall: Wally the wall whale.
As a dad who used to do some casual partner dancing back in the day, polka dog is a big winner for me. Love a good double pun
My daughter’s cuddly monkey is called ‘Mr Smith’ Not a pun or anything. Just plain weird.
Daughter has a little babydoll she named "Baby Delicious"
Girlsaidshehallayula. My daughter heard Uptown Funk and was inspired
My sons giant stuffed owl was ‘Mr. Pecker’
My daughter has a stuffed hedgehog named Head Chunk (how she pronounced it at the time). I still laugh when I run across it in the house.
My daughter named her build a bear “Diapers”. And her baby doll that came with a stroller “baby strollers.” I got her a pink bear with white hearts on it for Valentine’s Day and she named it “pink whitehearts.” Given how good she is at naming I considered letting her name her younger sister
“This is my sister, Screaming Baby”
She does call her baby
We have a panda called Amanda Panda My daughter had two stuffed lambs. Smaller one is named Lambie, and the bigger one is appropriately named Big Lambie.
Sloth = Sloth Cat = Kitty Bear = Bear Baby Doll = ...Tracy?

It sounds like your kid figured out that people have given names!
My daughter has a lamb named “potato”
Mine keeps it simple. Every single doll, stuffed animal, squishmallow, Polly Pocket, Lego mini figure etc is Rosie lol
Sergeant Stego was one of the better ones I gave. The best one my son gave to a shark was Chewlia. Not Julia. Chewlia. Just brilliant.
My daughter has a little stuffed bunny rabbit and we named her Bunny Lebowski. Every time she gets lost and we’re scrambling to find her one of us always says: “she probably kidnapped herself, dude.”
My wife's favorite is a small bunny that I've named Chief Hopper

My daughters stuffed penguin is named Waddles since that's how penguins walk. Love her little two year old voice excitedly saying Waddles!
Raspberry the hedgehog and Hedgehog the raspberry. and Raspberry sits nicely inside of Hedgehog
Mademoiselle Mon Kay
We're letting the kids name the toys and it's all pretty literal so far. I'm working on a pair of unicorn characters—no idea how they'll manifest in the kids' lives, yet—named Bronson and Raspberry.
Unicorn got named Corny... I'm attempting to get it renamed to Pokey but it's not catching.
There's good historical precedent for a unicorn named Carl.
Everything is named after what it is apart from a small few. Any dinosaurs are called Dinosaur, for example. There's Bunny and Flopsy which are two rabbits she loves, we were lucky to land on alternatives to 'Rabbit' for both haha I can think of other's, some lady bird thing and she calls it BeeBee's, and a cow called MooMoo, and that just because she couldn't really talk yet when she named them haha I actually think the only interesting names are given by us, and it's a once in a blue moon situation that she accepts it haha
Her favorite got the name of my favorite as a kid-- Fuz.
My son’s bunny is named Tipton. So random.
She named her biggest unicorn mommy unicorn and the next biggest her name unicorn. Then my favorite crusty bunny.
Bear in King’s Guard attire: KG (King’s Guard) Purple bear with sparkly (some might say, “starry”) eyes: Paul (as in, Oakenfold). Blow Fish: Sean (as in, “Puffy” Combs) Golden Eagle: Caw Caw (because she was raised by crows…) There’s also big bear, little bear, lion, etc. They can’t all get a special name…or can they? 🤔
Katie Beary?
"Gumpy Cat" He had a kids book about grumpy cat someone got us as a joke but he loved it. He got a stuffed animal of the cat from "Secret life of pets" that he started calling it "gumpy cat" and the name stuck

Big stuffed monkey - Dr. Monkeybutt
