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!

Oh wow by first thought was also Rupert! No joke… and I hadn’t read his middle name. I think that’s a sign to go with Rupert and ditch “Bear” which, let’s face it, is going to be very era-specific in years to come like the post-neighbours Kylie and charlenes…

Ellis

Alexander or Benedict

(Rupert would be too much, but is a lovely name. And I don't think bur/bear of Wilbur Bear world together at all)

Marcus or Magnus both came to mind - first thought was Rupert, actually, but not with that middle name!

He is adorable.

I think he looks like a Wilbur (Will)
