DP loves it, I like it but not sure I can get past the bear association.
What nickname would he have? Also what middle name would work with it?

Henry
Thomas
Jesse

So feel free to suggest anything else we might like :)

Rupert is awful. Bland and insipid and posh to a comedy degree.

Jesse is great.

The Rupert I know went by Ru, but I think Rupert is better
(He was actually a Jonathan but went by his middle name!)

Cute but works well for a grown up too :) from your list I also like Jesse

I'm not a fan. To me it's a comedy posh name. And it's a bit wet.
