The name a child gets, whatever it is, becomes that child's possession. The namer usually dies before the named. For this reason, and others, I think that it is only fair to give a child the kind of name and/or the number of names that will allow for their own taste and sense of identity, and also for possible accidents, like a serial killer with the same name and surname whom one would not wish to be mistaken for.

So, Teddy. Very Roosevelt, and therefore also very Bear. And very juvenile. I like Edward; Theodore isn't used where I live, in my experience anyway, and I don't find it appealing. So, I'd either use Edward or, more likely, something like Timothy Edwin David, which gives TED initials and also lots of scope for other possible nns or choices. "My name is Timothy but everyone calls me Ted because of my initials" or "I'm David, it's actually my second middle name but it's the one I prefer" would be sensible things to say. "My name's Teddy. I don't know why; like, my dad thought it was cute or something" isn't.
