Is it ok as a middle name?

Don't be fucking stupid

No.

It will. W hugely embarrassing for him when he's older.

Just use it as a nickname.

We were planning on Theodore Bear Grin

Second middle name, so he can drop it if he wants

But....why? With all the lovely lovely names out there, why choose Bear?

Middle name maybe, very daft as a first name. Most people don't use middle names for much so in a way could be anything!

StillHungryy · 23/04/2017 00:27

Unless his first name is teddy or Theodore

StillHungryy · 23/04/2017 00:27

Nooo

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 23/04/2017 00:26

I think it would depend on what his other names are

FeedTheSharkAndItWIllBite · 22/04/2017 23:56

I think it's fine. :)

StrawberryJelly00 · 22/04/2017 23:56

This will be his knickname in the future for sure

GimbleInTheWabe · 22/04/2017 23:55

Bear is adorable for a little boy. Ridiculous on a grown man. I think it's the kind of thing he'll cringe about later when asked 'what's your middle name?' Sorry OP.

Frustratedboarder · 22/04/2017 23:54

(btw DS's middle name is a variant of it and he gets called Bear so i definitely think it's fine!)

MitzyLeFrouf · 22/04/2017 23:54

As a middle name yes.

Frustratedboarder · 22/04/2017 23:53

Only if you're confident enough in your (confident) name choice to not give a fuck what a bunch of internet strangers think.... Which you're clearly not! Grin It's the kind of name which really needs aplomb, iyswim!

DramaAlpaca · 22/04/2017 23:48

Jamie & Jools Oliver think so.

I don't.

Sorry.

twoforthepriceofone22 · 22/04/2017 23:47

As a middle name, with Teddy as a first name? Sure why not? Grin
I'm not sure your dc would thank you in years to come.

wooster16 · 22/04/2017 23:44

Middle name definitely!

ScarlettFreestone · 22/04/2017 23:44

No.
