Ava-Lily and Teddycompared on official birth-registration statistics and Namewise's recorded data. This page states what each name's record shows — it never picks a winner or scores one name against the other.
Head to head
Ranks are only compared within one published list and one year. Two ranks from different years, from a boys' and a girls' list, or from different registrars are not comparable, so they are not placed side by side.
England and Wales · Girls
In 2025, Ava-Lily was ranked #3705 and Teddy #3333 among girls in England and Wales.
Ava-Lily and Teddy over time
Ava-Lily and Teddy appear together in 1 published list, across 12 years of shared records. Ava-Lily held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Teddy in 0.
The order between them changed and held in one of those lists — a change in that published list, never a claim that one name displaced the other.
Ava-Lily reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Teddy in none. Each position is a place inside its own list, so this compares when they peaked and never how high.
Counted list by list. Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale in the same year, so those comparisons are real — but positions from different lists are not, so nothing here is combined into an overall standing.

| Meaning | Not yet recorded | A diminutive form, not carrying independent meaning of its own — confirmed as a diminutive of both Edward ('rich guard') and Theodore ('gift of god'), two etymologically unrelated full names, so the meaning depends entirely on which name a given bearer is short for. |
