Help me give this baby of mine a first name

My gorgeous baby boy was born 5 days ago, and we have a middle name but am struggling with first names. We will consider anything but not too keen on 'top 10' boys names and like something a bit different but not w*nky.

Middle name is Bear and hyphenated surname starts with S and T so a bit long!

Thanks!

My first thought was William Smile
Willy Bear though... I think not.

Another poster here who also immediately thought Rupert and its not even a name I'm especially fond off so not suggesting it for that reason but he's definitely got a Rupert vibe.

As a previous poster said I'd ditch the middle name Bear and call him Rupert. Smile

I also thought Rupert when I saw him. Obvs not with Bear. Or Caleb?

Ruibies · 04/01/2022 14:28

Thomas, William or Jacob. He looks lovely OP, big congrats!

Dominic

Also, for some reason, I immediately though "Jason", although I know that isn't very popular nowadays. He just looks like one to me!

He’s adorable, congratulations!

Oliver (Olly) came to mind when I first saw him, don’t know if that’s too popular though.

Also think he suits Theo but don’t know if that’s too on the nose with his middle name.
