How did the Beaver get his nickname?

Thank You!
I thought I had seen all the early episodes. It is one of those little things that aren't really important but . can't get it out of your mind. LOL
But I really can't see how a mispronunciation of Theodore comes out as Beaver.
I had the chance to work with Michael Jackson who was as brilliant as they come.

I always thought it was a dumb explanation and felt the writers should have taken a few more minutes to come up with something more plausible, like, "When Beaver used to get nervous before a test, he would chew up his pencils. One time Ward said, 'If you keep that up, you'll turn into a beaver,' and that's when the name stuck!"

That does sound more plausible.

Thank younow it makes more sense!
For the longest time, I thought it was because of his front teeth but then I noticed Wally's 2 front teeth were kind of big too.

And to add to what everyone else said there is the most obvious reason that he got the nickname Beaver. It rhymes with Cleaver.
I would say it's not that unusual for a bunch of kids to give another kid a nickname that rhymes with his last name.
