Bear, Everest, Forrest or River?

[LouiseJ88]

Our little boy is nameless. We have to register him soon! I feel really sorry for him poor little guy does need a name! We just can't pick (absolutely love them all!) which is your favourite???

[LuckySantangelo1]

I think if you are considering forest then I'd spell it properly, otherwise he's got a lifetime of correcting people.

My favourites are bear & river.

Everest is a popular female character in Paw Patrol, in case that hasn't crossed you radar yet.

[GetAHaircutCarl]

I recently met someone called Bear who is a composer!

Fan of Forest and Bear.

Oh I like Forrest! lucky I think the name has two Rs...a bit like the name Scarlett having two Ts.

Everest I'd associate with the girl dog in Paw Patrol now so too feminine.

[RiverTam]

River

The only Forrest I've heard of is Forrest Whitakker and he spells it like that, so it looks right to me as a name.

[LouiseJ88]

Well, Forrest is the name spelling. However, Forest is also lovely.

[TheChineseChicken]

Bear

[LouiseJ88]

Vivienne - what's that face for?

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Forrest or Bear.

[LouiseJ88]

We like Leo, but it's too popular!

[Musicinthe00ssucks]

Sorry but Forrest is going to be associated with Forrest Gump. River is just about tolerable

[plimsolls]

Forrest or River. Agree "rr" for name-Forrest rather than tree-Forest. I like River a lot.

Bear is sweet but I tend to assume it's a baby-nickname for Edward/Teddy.

I would have said Everest is my favourite until I read the comments about it being a female character in Paw Patrol. I assume Paw Patrol is very popular with older children? (My baby is tiny so I don't yet have the pleasure of kids TV!)

[IamScarfaceClaw]

I know a Bear....it suits him as an adult so certainly did as a child, I also know 2 men named Moss, a Rush, an Oak and an Onyx!

[IamScarfaceClaw]

Ooh and a 'Lief'

[Joinourclub]

Forrest. I like bear but just reminds me of how the kids at the school I used to teach at described everything they didn't like as 'bare long miss'.

[DearMrDilkington]

Don't call him forest! He will have a lifetime of 'run forest run' .

I'd go for bear.

[Pigeonpost]

Forrest or River for me. Bear sounds like a nickname and Everest is a bit too specific (mountain or uPVC windows...) for me.

[Penguina]

Are you a family of explorers?

[Bummymummy77]

Forrest is the correct way of spelling it in the states.

Having said that, I know 5 Forests and 7 Forrests. It's hugely popular here.

[Bummymummy77]

I LOVE River.

And if people are going to make unkind comments why don't they make them in their heads only?

[VixenLupin]

Or you could combine the names and call him Everbeariverest.

[VixenLupin]

My sons nickname is Bear. It's a fantastic nn, not sure as a real name though.

I think of double glazing as well as the mountain for Everest.

Same with Forest - always think of Gump.

River is fine, it's a known name.

[griffinsss]

What about the name Lief? Leif? I can't remember how you spell it. It's pronounced the same a leaf of course. I think it's darling. I like all of the names mentioned in the title, but I'm not utterly sold on Bear.
