teddy lupin is too old for this shit. (barbae) wrote in resurge,
Teddy was certain he wouldn't have much say in the end on what they'd name her, simply based on the fact that his list of names was as eclectic as one could imagine. As long as it wasn't stupid, he figured it didn't matter-- kids always seemed to hate their names. Teddy knew he wasn't fond of the name Edward, for certain. That's what nicknames were for.
He wasn't certain about naming her based on her personality, though, merely because that only worked with cats and dogs. If a cat has a fluffy behind, you name it Fluffbutt. If a baby cries a lot, you can't name it Crier. Well, you could but that'd be stupid.
"Hold her?" Somehow, all his experience with holding babies (hell, he probably held Victoire as a baby when he was age two at some point) flew from his head. But he took her as gently from Victoire's arms as he could manage. How could something be so fragile? So small, so delicate with tiny arms and tiny legs and tinier fingers and toes. It should be illegal for something to be so small.
"We could name her Princess, I've met people named Princess," said as a sidenote. 90% of his brain was just the word baby baby baby baby on repeat.
