Why the name Teddy Bear?

Yes I do sleep with a teddy bear, but I would like think I am just as kind and lovable as he is.

I sleep with stuffed animals too...considering I felt too old to hold on to my baby blankie. I have about 6 stuffed animals I sleep with interchangeably.

and why not... cool username

Nothing wrong with sleeping with a teddy bear. I sleep with two dogs so there is no room for stuffed animals, but if I didn't have my dogs I would probably sleep with a stuffed animal. It's a good user name, easy to remember.

I had a russian blue cat named teddy bear. It is a cool name, and i sleep with a lot of stuffed animals. They really belong to the cat, we share them.
= This is us w/o our stuffed animals. LOL!

I sleep with a teddy too lol. Mostly to support my shoulder if I'm on my stomach. At least that's what I tell ppl.

What did you name your Teddy Bear?

My bear has an awesome name....but, I tell everyone his name, so if I told you, then my anonymity would be compromised. I used to take that darn bear with me everywhere, on overnight trips that is. He's a bit of a raggamuffin now so I've adopted a few more friends. (They have to possess just the right amount of cuddliness when I hug them as I fall asleep.)

That's nice.

I sleep with a hello kitty with a giant head and little body my boyfriend won her for me at the boardwalk so it's sentimental to me. I also sleep with at least 3 of my cats and 1 of them has a stuffed doggy toy she likes to sleep with... go figure!

I think that's adorable! I've slept with a teddy most of my life, but haven't found a new one since giving up the last one which my ex gave me. They just haven't had the right feel I guess. Or were extremely expensive. *sigh* I miss having a teddy tbh.

I sleep with 2 stuffed animals: 1 Eeyoor given to me by my best friend, and 1 elephant crocheted by that same friend. They're wrapped in a towel with the ends stitched together so they don't get dirty as easily. Because I have a big hole in my chest and I'm afraid of them getting dirty if I press them to the hole.

Sometimes I sleep with stuffed animals too, or with an extra little pillow to hug...but only when I'm stressed for something. They help me. If I use the pillow it's because I'm afraid my parents will see the stuffed animals (not that they would get angry, but I don't want them to know ), so a pillow would seem more 'normal' to keep in bed
The name Teddy Bear is lovely

i sleep with a body pillow with a video game character on it like the sad nerd i am. and a stuffed rabbit. no shame, no shame. :>
