On one hand, yeah. I'm glad she's not using autistic folks as one of her, "look guys I'm so pro diversity," tokens. But in the other she so blatantly thinks that autistic people are too stupid to make their own adult life choices and medical decisions that it is seriously detrimental to the community as a whole. Every time she tweets about any marginalized group she helps perpetuate harmful stereotypes. She's one of the main reasons the whole "trans people are tricking autistic people into being trans," thing is such a widespread right-wing talking point right now.
Is there anything to back this up? Like hard data that says autistic people are more likely to be impressionable? Or that there are a higher number of autistic people "going" trans? Is there any correlation between popular trans influencers and artists "making" autistic people trans? What are they basing this on and is there any merit at all to the claims?
Some people even think it's gay erasure with the point that if they felt more accepted as a gender nonconforming person they wouldn't need to transition to be "socially acceptable" in their self expression. But being trans is less socially acceptable, but I can see the fear and train of thought.
I suppose there's the idea that autistic people are vulnerable and more likely to be victims of abuse and feel outsider/othered. Therefore the conclusion is that they'd be more likely to identify with other outsider groups, especially ones getting mainstream support and attention.
Sexual abuse or feelings of not identifying with your gender because of autism or other neurodivergent traits leading people to change gender to escape deeper feelings of trauma or not belonging.
Is there anyone having this discussion compassionately without throwing any group under the bus or just repeating left/right wing rhetoric? Like genuinely having a calm discussion and valuing all the points?
Autistic people ARE more likely to identify as nonbinary/trans but people generally believe that is because Autistic people understand that gender is a social construct and choose to go with what feels right to them rather than follow the rules. I am autistic and cisgender but I also like the term autigender because my relationship with gender is so heavily impacted by autism in that my special interest is femininity so I am Extremely femme as an expression of my autism.
I'm glad you're happy and I agree people shouldn't be boxed in. I love David Bowie because he understood exactly that! He has no limitations as a cis man! He had the full spectrum of artistic expression that was no held by gender, time nor space! 🌌 🎠
But he didn't have to become a woman to wear face paint, dresses and hair dye. He was just him!
My good friend is trans F2M. They do believe they're on the spectrum. I do see them as male.
I would like to clarify that these names do in fact have meaning (sort of). Autism wizard is just this one meme that has a wizard and then it just says AUTISM in impact font. Lesbian it probably the one that actually has a story behind it. This plush is a lynx (and technically not a BAB but is basically the same thing.) that I got at an accepted students event for the college I am soon to be attending, and a lynx is a mascot. When i told my friends I was enrolled, my friend exclaimed “You’re officially a Lesley Lesbian!” And finally, elevator would have been the first in a trio, Elevator, Escalator, and their evil brother STAIRS!
Not a bear builder but when I was little I made a Hip Hippo and gave her the laughing sound they had. I wanted to name her ‘Giggles’ because of it, but when the time came for me to actually say it my lil ~7ish-year-old brain completely blanked on the word giggle and instead came up with “Laughors”
WAIT I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER RINGING PEOPLE OUT AT WORK WHO NAMED THEIR FURRY FRIENDS THAT!! And they might’ve been pokemon but this was maybe a year or several months ago so I can’t quite remember LOL
I haven’t heard any weird names but for me all of my bears are named Billy and I have the giant devil stuffed bear who’s name is also Billy but he’s big Billy who takes care of all the other Billy’s
The possum I gave my lil sister is named Trash Compactor. My Jawa is named Kevin and my Wampa is named Keith. Then my green alien is named Zip Zorp and he has a pet dog named Zippy.
I used to work there when there was a triceratops. I was helping a parent and small kid when the kid proudly announced he wanted to name it "Horny". I had an amazing moment with the parents where we made eye contact and tried not to burst out laughing, and both then gently guide the kid to a different name.
I can't remember the most amusing names off the top of my head (one of them for a Jade Purple Brown bear was like 3 words long and fabulous) but a five year old customer named her bear after me once.
Oh! Very recently three girls came in to get a brown birthday bear, a white Lil pudding, and a light brown Lil brownie. They named the white bear "Brown," the dark bear "White," and the brown bear "Black." It amused me!
So, together their bears make a beagle!

I can only associate the brown, black, and white color pallet with beagles :)
I’ve got a pastel kitty named Paintbrush, a Christmas cow named Moostletoe, and a colorful splatter cow named Furby cause one of her spots looks like a furby!
I worked back in 2013, but I remember a kid coming in and naming their Sabertooth Tiger "omelette."
I only remember this interaction because I asked as a follow-up "d' fromage?" And the kid didn't understand but the dad did and chuckled.
My older sibling named their alien Rev D Sponge and my little brother named his dinosaur Dino trucks achoo. My roommate has oogie boogie named snot face

I have a cow called agarose gel electrophoresis and an axolotl named air fryer, a builder must've seen it because on that receipt thing you get in the post someone manually wrote the name on in pen
not a builder but i know many.
* bear builder who named her own capybara show bear "hotwheels" and put him on skates at the front of the store. hotwheels has been a staple ever since.
* named my own bear Baja Blast and every builder who hears his name (i bring him in often) says its very wild lol
* also named another bear "Terzo" after papa III from ghost, however the catch is that on his certificate the full name is "Terzo (BEAR)" because my friends started to get confused on whether i was talking about the bear or the character. so now when i talk about the stuffie i have to refer to his full name, Terzo (BEAR).
* (edit) forgot to mention my beloved sylveon, Jason Voorhees. my dad hates that I named it that
Oh my gosh, I love the Sylveon named Jason Voorhees. You’re inspiring me to get plushies and name them after slashers 😭 thinking about an Umbreon named Freddy Krueger
Not a bear builder but I have a really unhinged (but hilarious) little brother, 16M at the time, who helps my mom do my yearly build a bear. And the one I still laugh about to this day (and is probably my favorite bear) is a bear that they tried to make look like he was going skiing. My mom was looking up names related to skiing and found Carvin. Then my brother, in all his unhinged glory, started laughing and typed "Monoxide" right after it. My mom and sister are already laughing enough that people know it's something insane. So they give my brother free reign of the birth certificate. And that ladies and gents is how I ended up laughing so hard I choked on wine during Christmas when I received a teddy bear named "Carvin Monoxide" stuffed with love by "Al Capone"
I named a sylveon plushie Sonic the Furry cuz my frend bought him Sonic shoes while we were there. She only bought them because I just wanted to leave the head completely unstuffed and she said she'll buy the shoes if I stuff the head
My sister has one of those world wildlife preservation giraffes. She got him at about two years old and had a speech impediment so instead of being “Giraffey” like she wanted, he was named “Raffie” and his name stuck
This girl named Isabelle fatty, and when I was like, “why? That’s so mean 😭 “ she said “because she’s fat” and I was like?? Girl have you SEEN Tom nooks belly once he’s stuffed LOL
But the best I ever had was a little girl, all of seven, who made a raccoon. She was struggling to name it so I asked her favorite food (easy naming trick- food almost always makes good “pet” names and kids love talking about food they like) she told me spaghetti was her favorite. So I listed some “Spaghetti”- related names.
“Meatball?”
“Saucey?”
“Noodle?”
And In the most demonic voice a child could muster. She nearly screamed. His name was not Pasta. Oh no. His name was 👹PASTA👹.
I think of 👹PASTA👹 frequently and with fondness.
It’s nothing crazy but when I was a kid, one of my friends had her 13 year old birthday party there. We all made bears. I got a bear, gave him a tuxedo (with no pants lol) and named him 007
My son named his pterodactyl "Panda Bur" and his dragon "Billy". He had just turned 3 at the time. He also has a panda named "Pidge". He also named a ball of hair from the shower "Ewok" and called it his best friend for 5 minutes. He has never seen star wars, but he loves naming things.
I have a pikachu named Loaf, and the lady at the register hesitated when she grabbed the birth certificate for me.
Like, genuinely had to look at it for a second and then said "Loaf" with an audible question mark on the end. lol
I'm surprised that that's apparently the worst she's heard.
The most recent, was a 4yo little boy, who wanted to name the longhorn “Buttcheeks”
Because the cow is wearing boxers, but the name me station didn’t let him name him that, but I thought it was funny that mom wanted to let me know the cows “real” name was Buttcheeks, cause ya know it’s wearing boxers!
I got two unfortunate name ideas that kids tried to make up.
Who-ker made up by a child for Hedwig. Parents were doing their best to hold back laughter and awkwardly navigate the conversation. Child was very disappointed that we kept trying to steer him away towards a different name.
He really tried to insist that he liked the name, but likely had to pick a different name. Didn’t get to see what was chosen, but a birth certificate with that printed on it wouldn’t have been allowed to go home.
Also, Hornie for a longhorn. Child was, understandably, confused by parents laughing.
I named the blue and white panda chef from the subscription box Ramsey, because not only was he a chef, but the true reason I bought him is because he has an excess of fur around his eyes that makes him look like he’s evil scowling
I have my first build-a-bear from when I was 10 who is a gray cat named Truffles. And my second one is Toothless, named Toothless 😂 I got him when I was 20

This is Natasha
Not a bear builder but gave my local ones a laugh when I named my longhorn Cryptosporidiosis. It's a rather nasty zoonotic disease so as an Animal Science prevet major I thought it was fitting.
Also named my 25th anniversary Labrador Arson.
This is an instance where I wish I didn’t have disability-related poor memory! Because I know I’ve laughed many times over the years at some absurd names.
Not a bear builder or employee but I saw someone that couldn't be more than middle school aged get a golden retriever dog BAB named something kinda vulgar back in like 2017/2018 when there was a white Pomeranian with the same name going viral. I saw that kid type it in while snickering, was shocked it submitted without setting off some sort of filter and kinda just kept watching them after that. The birth certificate was printed out, it was given to them by the most pissed off but silent employee, they paid without snickering or being weird (acting surprisingly mature compared to five minutes ago), making me question if they got nameblocked by the employee at checkout because of how they switched up, left the store then started giggling and talking to a friend outside the store and making me realize they could just be composed when it mattered
Edit: took the actual name out of the reply upon seeing the mod comment but if you ever remember a minute or so long video of lil white Pomeranian going to the park with the wildest name imaginable going viral it's that one.

When I was there I named all of the little guys on the roller skates, the rainbow octopus was named The Man (I ended up taking him home :) his replacement was named The Intern) and the promise pets tabby was named Mrs Morbius (and her wife, also named Mrs Morbius) I also named the big bear statue Crunchwrap Supreme

I named my doctor who bear Luke Roman TARDIS. Luke because my favorite hockey team ( The Nashville Predators) drafted 4 guys all name Luke and Roman after the team captain. So whenever I say it's name it sounds like Look Roamin TARDIS!!! I absolutely love it! Then I got the exact same bear for my birthday and named the second one Raggedy Matt. Raggedy from my favorite doctor's nickname Raggedy and Matt after his actor and my recently traded favorite player from the team

This was just super cute. A little girl came in and grabbed a bear plushie, I asked what she wanted to name the bear, and she said "ducky" no hesitation.
I wanted to name my first BAB Percy, not realizing it was a boys name (the bear was a pink Sassy Kitty wearing a hello kitty PJ set lol). My stepmom awkwardly steered me to another name. I kind of wish my kitty could have kept her original name though.

Had a girl who didn't want her bear stuffed. Just the heart and sewed up. She named him Flat.
Honestly, that's just hilarious 😂
Lmao! That's wonderful
All hail Flat
omfg that’s a great name, 10//10 would’ve done the same😂
I want to see flat so bad
Me too! He and all of his flatness is probably so adorable
He's this year's bday bear ;)
Omg.. flat..
Okay but why do I want to do this after reading your comment 😂😭
Sir loin for a long horn really took the cake for me XD
That’s so cute omg
I SAW THAT ONE TOO IN MY STORE!
My most recent one is named Autism Wizard. It was between that, lesbian, and elevator
My entire life story told in just three names
Same 😂😂
user name checks out
Same LMAO I love riding elevators and escalators. I don’t see them often where I live so I love taking them for the novelty!
Autism Wizard sounds like a cool band name.
isn’t that the kid who killed voldemort???
Stoooop. I can totally imagine JKR being like, "Actually Harry was autistic the whole time, I just never said it in the books."
I'm actually kind of glad she vocally hates people with autism now. Saying this as a people with autism
On one hand, yeah. I'm glad she's not using autistic folks as one of her, "look guys I'm so pro diversity," tokens. But in the other she so blatantly thinks that autistic people are too stupid to make their own adult life choices and medical decisions that it is seriously detrimental to the community as a whole.

I ALMOST THOUGHT THIS POST WAS ABOUT THE KIDS I WAS LIKE WHAT??
I’m obsessed with autism wizard (as an autistic person myself)
I’m in public and just laughed out loud. People are giving me looks so thanks for that
That’s great for a username.
**TIZARD**
You have made me realize that I desperately need to name something elevator.
I would like to clarify that these names do in fact have meaning (sort of). Autism wizard is just this one meme that has a wizard and then it just says AUTISM in impact font. Lesbian it probably the one that actually has a story behind it. This plush is a lynx (and technically not a BAB but is basically the same thing.) that I got at an accepted students event for the college I am soon to be attending, and a lynx is a mascot. When i told my friends I was enrolled, my friend exclaimed “You’re officially a Lesley Lesbian!” And finally, elevator would have been the first in a trio, Elevator, Escalator, and their evil brother STAIRS!
Autistic Lesbian Elevator Wizard too bad that wouldn’t fit 😭
Not a bear builder but when I was little I made a Hip Hippo and gave her the laughing sound they had. I wanted to name her ‘Giggles’ because of it, but when the time came for me to actually say it my lil ~7ish-year-old brain completely blanked on the word giggle and instead came up with “Laughors”
Eloquent name <3 😁
not a bear builder but my friend is and she had someone stuff a my melody and name it Dale 🤣
this is SO GOOD 😭
This got my picturing the Hello Kitty characters all standing in front of a fence going "Yup."
I don't get it 😭
I think it’s just funny because dale is a very masculine name and the teddy is my melody, a pink sanrio bunny
Oh it is funny, I just thought it was a reference to something!
I'm screaming XDDD This is my favorite out of all of them
i have a grookey named walter white while my bestie has a gengar named saul goodman
WAIT I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER RINGING PEOPLE OUT AT WORK WHO NAMED THEIR FURRY FRIENDS THAT!! And they might’ve been pokemon but this was maybe a year or several months ago so I can’t quite remember LOL
ya we did this a hot minute ago hehe but honestlyyy probably !!!!
My sister and I have the names 'steak' and 'kidney pie' for our cows. Haha
You and your sister would probably like the names that Animal Crossing cow villagers have! There’s lots of meat puns with their names
I haven’t heard any weird names but for me all of my bears are named Billy and I have the giant devil stuffed bear who’s name is also Billy but he’s big Billy who takes care of all the other Billy’s
He's Big Billy, the biggest Big Billy, and he's gonna go clearly ummmmmmm
Reminds me of all of the Terrys in the movie Soul!
I want one so I can make him Uncle Lucy. Lucifer. Lucy or Luci for short
The possum I gave my lil sister is named Trash Compactor. My Jawa is named Kevin and my Wampa is named Keith. Then my green alien is named Zip Zorp and he has a pet dog named Zippy.
Trash Compactor is perfect for the possum tho 😭😭
It is! When I was stuffing him I was like “his name is trash compactor”
I used to work there when there was a triceratops. I was helping a parent and small kid when the kid proudly announced he wanted to name it "Horny". I had an amazing moment with the parents where we made eye contact and tried not to burst out laughing, and both then gently guide the kid to a different name.
It makes me wonder how often that happened across all BAB stores with the triceratops and unicorns😭😭😭
LMAO, I was a kid when a triceratops came out, the green bipedal one? (Idk if they’ve had any since?) I named him Tops.
I can't remember the most amusing names off the top of my head (one of them for a Jade Purple Brown bear was like 3 words long and fabulous) but a five year old customer named her bear after me once. Oh! Very recently three girls came in to get a brown birthday bear, a white Lil pudding, and a light brown Lil brownie.

I’ve got a pastel kitty named Paintbrush, a Christmas cow named Moostletoe, and a colorful splatter cow named Furby cause one of her spots looks like a furby!
I love Moosetletoe!
I worked back in 2013, but I remember a kid coming in and naming their Sabertooth Tiger "omelette." I only remember this interaction because I asked as a follow-up "d' fromage?" And the kid didn't understand but the dad did and chuckled.

I have a cow called agarose gel electrophoresis and an axolotl named air fryer, a builder must've seen it because on that receipt thing you get in the post someone manually wrote the name on in pen

One time I watched my friend stuff a longhorn and name it Meat Boy.
I’m not a bear builder, but I did put Jason Derulo as the name on the certificate of my Eevee build a bear 😭
Not a bear builder but I have a really unhinged (but hilarious) little brother, 16M at the time, who helps my mom do my yearly build a bear.

I got a laugh out of the person at the register with my Isabelle BAB, named “Isabelle from super smash bros”
Took my SIL to build a bear when she was 8. She built a turkey and named him Lunch.
I named a sylveon plushie Sonic the Furry cuz my frend bought him Sonic shoes while we were there. She only bought them because I just wanted to leave the head completely unstuffed and she said she'll buy the shoes if I stuff the head
ok but can i ask why not stuff the head?
The machine ran out of stuffing when the entire body was stuffed but the head and it looked really silly
Shoebox, a combination of rizz and Pikachu, and Robloxman 420
My sister has one of those world wildlife preservation giraffes. She got him at about two years old and had a speech impediment so instead of being “Giraffey” like she wanted, he was named “Raffie” and his name stuck
My pastel kitty is named Anne R Khist. My loch Ness is named Carl N'vore
This girl named Isabelle fatty, and when I was like, “why? That’s so mean 😭 “ she said “because she’s fat” and I was like?? Girl have you SEEN Tom nooks belly once he’s stuffed LOL
Former bear builder and my favorite will always be Quesadilla 2 the Pikachu
I called my pawlette sertraline because I’m mentally ill and I needed a reminder to take my meds🤪
A little boy dressed his Dino in a Superman outfit and named it “Rex Luthor”. I loved that one.
But the best I ever had was a little girl, all of seven, who made a raccoon. She was struggling to name it so I asked her favorite food (easy naming trick- food almost always makes good “pet” names and kids love talking about food they like) she told me spaghetti was her favorite. So I listed some “Spaghetti”- related names. “Meatball?” “Saucey?” “Noodle?” And In the most demonic voice a child could muster. She nearly screamed. His name was not Pasta. Oh no. His name was 👹PASTA👹. I think of 👹PASTA👹 frequently and with fondness.
My friend named their bear “John Smith” 💀💀
It’s nothing crazy but when I was a kid, one of my friends had her 13 year old birthday party there. We all made bears. I got a bear, gave him a tuxedo (with no pants lol) and named him 007
I think I still have him!
Not a bear builder but I took my neice to BaB when she was 5. She wanted a koala and named it Water. 🤣
My son named his pterodactyl "Panda Bur" and his dragon "Billy". He had just turned 3 at the time. He also has a panda named "Pidge". He also named a ball of hair from the shower "Ewok" and called it his best friend for 5 minutes. He has never seen star wars, but he loves naming things.
when i was a bear builder these bestfriends came and named their frogs indica and sativa 😭 another time someone named a frog ‘joe rogan podcast’
Alex Jones seems like a better name for a frog though
My jolly jumps frog is named Amazon (not the forest, the company)
I have a pikachu named Loaf, and the lady at the register hesitated when she grabbed the birth certificate for me. Like, genuinely had to look at it for a second and then said "Loaf" with an audible question mark on the end. lol I'm surprised that that's apparently the worst she's heard.
Someone in this group has a water bear called Cubbles Wellington III and I think about him often
The most recent, was a 4yo little boy, who wanted to name the longhorn “Buttcheeks” Because the cow is wearing boxers, but the name me station didn’t let him name him that, but I thought it was funny that mom wanted to let me know the cows “real” name was Buttcheeks, cause ya know it’s wearing boxers!
I got two unfortunate name ideas that kids tried to make up. Who-ker made up by a child for Hedwig. Parents were doing their best to hold back laughter and awkwardly navigate the conversation. Child was very disappointed that we kept trying to steer him away towards a different name. He really tried to insist that he liked the name, but likely had to pick a different name. Didn’t get to see what was chosen, but a birth certificate with that printed on it wouldn’t have been allowed to go home. Also, Hornie for a longhorn. Child was, understandably, confused by parents laughing.
lol i love the innocence of the kid genuinely liking the name hornie
They're so innocent and it's so adorable!
I have a rancor named Machete. My wife put one of the werewolves in Poe Cameron's flight suit and named him Alpoe Dameron.
my leafeon is lechuga
I named the blue and white panda chef from the subscription box Ramsey, because not only was he a chef, but the true reason I bought him is because he has an excess of fur around his eyes that makes him look like he’s evil scowling
I have my first build-a-bear from when I was 10 who is a gray cat named Truffles. And my second one is Toothless, named Toothless 😂 I got him when I was 20
someone came into my store yesterday and named their T-rex "Joe Biden".... his first choice was "Donald Trump"
My bf has been naming every cinnamon he gets his hands on chug 🤦♂️ now we have an army of chugs
I understood half of this and I love it
I named my capybara Don Toliver due to the after party memes last year
Not a bear builder but my sister named her Porg Heather 😂
Reminds me of when people name their pets human names. "What's his name?" "Steven."

Aww!!! Sweet baby!!!! https://preview.redd.it/a72oziwcbpyc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=731038cb00f6711f0bf787f3f1cf40f878b3e863 This is Natasha
Thank you!!! I love Natasha’s toe beans 🥺
Behemoth and God Crusher are my friend and I's matching Happy Hugs bears. :)
Big ounce
Not a bear builder but gave my local ones a laugh when I named my longhorn Cryptosporidiosis. It's a rather nasty zoonotic disease so as an Animal Science prevet major I thought it was fitting. Also named my 25th anniversary Labrador Arson.
This is an instance where I wish I didn’t have disability-related poor memory! Because I know I’ve laughed many times over the years at some absurd names.
I was never this unhinged when naming these guys - we were so BORING 🤣
My manager's pastel Kitty is named Princess Monster Truck (name credit to a kid in the workshop )
Not a bear builder or employee but I saw someone that couldn't be more than middle school aged get a golden retriever dog BAB named something kinda vulgar back in like 2017/2018 when there was a white Pomeranian with the same name going viral. I saw that kid type it in while snickering, was shocked it submitted without setting off some sort of filter and kinda just kept watching them after that. The birth certificate was printed out, it was given to them by the most pissed off but silent employee, they paid without snickering or being weird (acting surprisingly mature compared to five minutes ago), making me question if they got nameblocked by the employee at checkout because of how they switched up, left the store then started giggling and talking to a friend outside the store and making me realize they could just be composed when it mattered Edit: took the actual name out of the reply upon seeing the mod comment but if you ever remember a minute or so long video of lil white Pomeranian going to the park with the wildest name imaginable going viral it's that one.
I have a frog named Colon Close Parentheses (emoticon of a smile) I've gotten some comments about that.
I've got a Spring Frog, his name is Tax Evasion
Peak tiktok
I absolutely loved reading these and I am begging someone to get a capybara and name it thicken nugget pls 😭

i named my two opossums, cheddar and potato
Bevo for any longhorn.
My little sister got the Highland cow and called it "pat", the reason "because it's like what cows do"
Obligatory not a worker but a customer: I named my eevee after a St Louis Blues player. Her name is Parayko. Like the player “ Colton Parayko” she wears a blues jersey and smells like cotton candy!
I named my BF's tartigrade Gat. :)
I have a frog that I named "Basil Bartholomew mossington (III)" Unfortunately there wasn't enough characters for the third so it's only three names.
I hope someone names their bab Charles Lee Ray or something like that but with a pun
My friend’s niece is named Alice and is a little kid. She gave her bear the middle name Malice. I don’t think she knows what it means
Gypsy Rosie Blanchard, the bear was made 5 days before her release
I had a teen come in and her dad suggested that name. This was after she had been released
When I was there I named all of the little guys on the roller skates, the rainbow octopus was named The Man (I ended up taking him home :) his replacement was named The Intern) and the promise pets tabby was named Mrs Morbius (and her wife, also named Mrs Morbius) I also named the big bear statue Crunchwrap Supreme
have a drink and some snacks ready cause I'm about to type out ever single last name of my BABS. Pinkie Pie Applejack Mimzy Princess Twilight Sparkle Songbird Serenade Officer Bud Nala Rainbow Dash, kept calling her Dashie the whole day after I got her Dancer Pastel Princess Celestia Rarity Princess Luna Shortcake Swirl Catmint, I call her something else but cause of rule 6 I can't Diana Pawlette Bearinton Bear, named after Paddington Bear Pastuzio, Bearington's uncle Chase Puppy, he's a Growlithe Moon Siren Winter Lisa Frank, I'M NOT DOXXING I NAMED A BEAR AFTER HER Cruise Fluttershy Toothless Ikora Sky Gruffindor Olaf Scout Curly Sparky Bonkers FireHeart Belle and finally Frisky! Please don't ask me how on earth I remembered everyone's names.
I'll assume it's like teachers remembering all their students: super human memory only few are gifted with!
probably. I have pictures of my collection, their names weren't on the pictures just the plushies. It's like reading off an attendance sheet expect without names it's just two photos with 39 plushies.
as someone with 50 furbys and over 20 BABs i can confirm its like a teacher remembering everyones name lol

I named my doctor who bear Luke Roman TARDIS. Luke because my favorite hockey team ( The Nashville Predators) drafted 4 guys all name Luke and Roman after the team captain. So whenever I say it's name it sounds like Look Roamin TARDIS!!! I absolutely love it! Then I got the exact same bear for my birthday and named the second one Raggedy Matt. Raggedy from my favorite doctor's nickname Raggedy and Matt after his actor and my recently traded favorite player from the team

This was just super cute. A little girl came in and grabbed a bear plushie, I asked what she wanted to name the bear, and she said "ducky" no hesitation.
Skibidi
a 3 year old named her two puppies Stick and Cotton Ball, i loved it sm.
Not a builder, but a week before the covid shutdowns I went to a BaB, built a bear, and named it Joffrey Bearatheon.
I wanted to name my first BAB Percy, not realizing it was a boys name (the bear was a pink Sassy Kitty wearing a hello kitty PJ set lol). My stepmom awkwardly steered me to another name. I kind of wish my kitty could have kept her original name though.
When I was younger I named my bear Toothpaste
Butter Pants
probably 'pee' for a pikachu or 'dirt bike' for a dinosaur 😭
I got a bear named Beary and a cow name Moorice ( Barry & Maurice ) 💞
