Teletubby Name Generator
Sing-song Tubbyland names for new Teletubbies
Generate Teletubby names in the bouncy style of Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po: doubled baby-talk names, rhyming two-word names, and tiny Tiddlytubby-style names. Great for fan characters, parody sketches, costumes, plushies and party games.
About Teletubby names
The four original Teletubbies (Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po) were named to be the first words a toddler could say back to the screen. Each name is built from the sounds babies make earliest: open vowels, soft consonants like p, b, d, l and w, and plenty of repetition. Tinky Winky is a rhyming pair, Laa-Laa is a doubled syllable, Dipsy is a cosy diminutive and Po is a single pop of sound. The 2015 reboot added the eight Tiddlytubbies (Mi-Mi, Daa Daa, Baa, Ping, RuRu, Nin, Duggle Dee and Umby Pumby), which follow the same rules at an even smaller size, plus Noo-Noo the vacuum cleaner.
The names here are grouped loosely by shape. Rhyming and alliterative pairs like Binky Bonk or Tippy Tap suit a full-size Teletubby with a big personality. Doubled names such as Bo-Bo, Nee-Nee and Zoo-Zoo sound like Laa-Laa's cousins. Short diminutives (Tumsy, Pipsy, Flumpy) and three-letter pops (Ping, Nog, Pum) work for Tiddlytubbies, babies of the group, or the smallest plush in the set.
Say the name out loud in a sing-song voice before choosing it. If it is fun to chant twice in a row and a two-year-old could shout it, it belongs in Tubbyland.
How to choose Teletubby names
- Match the name shape to the character's size: two-word rhymes for a full-size Teletubby, a doubled syllable or a three-letter pop like Ping or Nog for a Tiddlytubby.
- Stick to early baby sounds (b, p, d, m, w, l and long vowels) and avoid harsh clusters like str- or -nk in the middle; Tinky Winky is about as consonant-heavy as the style gets.
- Pair the name with a signature object, colour and antenna shape, the way Tinky Winky has his bag and Po has her scooter. The name should sound good in the opening roll call.
- For a parody or sketch, the joke lands better if the name still follows the rules (Dumpling Doo, Custardo) rather than breaking the baby-talk sound.
- Check that the name does not clash with an existing Teletubby or Tiddlytubby; Laa-Laa, Po, Mi-Mi and Nin are taken, so choose something that sounds like a sibling instead of a copy.
Frequently asked questions
What are the names of the four Teletubbies?
The original Teletubbies are Tinky Winky (purple, triangle antenna), Dipsy (green, straight antenna), Laa-Laa (yellow, curly antenna) and Po (red, circle antenna). Their vacuum-cleaner helper is called Noo-Noo.
What are the Tiddlytubbies called?
The eight Tiddlytubbies introduced in the 2015 series are Mi-Mi, Daa Daa, Baa, Ping, RuRu, Nin, Duggle Dee and Umby Pumby. They are babies who live in the Home Dome and follow the same baby-talk naming style as the grown Teletubbies.
How do I make up a name that sounds like a real Teletubby?
Use one of four shapes: a rhyming pair (Tinky Winky), a doubled syllable (Laa-Laa), a soft diminutive ending in -sy or -y (Dipsy), or a single short pop (Po). Keep to baby sounds like b, p, d, m and w with open vowels, and make sure it is easy to chant.
Can I use these names for a fan character, costume or plushie?
Yes. The names are original creations in the Teletubbies style and work for fan art, original characters, group Halloween costumes, parody videos, plush toys and party games. Teletubbies itself is a trademark, so avoid using the name in anything you sell.
