Really, it's a nickname, not a name. Surely?

Yep, Edward Michael Grylls. Only changed it to Bear because that was his nickname at school.

Is it after Bear Grylls? YOu do know his real name is Edward don't you? And that Bear is just his nickname? Christen him Edward and call him Bear if you like. It's just not a name.

Bear Anthony
Bear Alexander

I can see why you needed to ask, I can't think of anything that seems to follow it. Could you have two middle names? Bear Anthony James or Bear Alexander Samuel sounds more fluid.

It just sounds like you are saying bare (as in naked) Joshua or whatever. But that's because Bear isn't a name.

I know a boy called Bear. There is a Teddy in the same class.
