Ok, so this is VERY theoretical...

Dh and I have decided to try for another baby in 2 years time. So a long way off. We have 2 dds.

But IF we were to have a ds next time, we both love the name Bear. We know an adult Bear and both really love it.

But would you? Could you? Opinions please!

As a middle name only

I'm sure this name thread has been done before with some evilly funny MN suggestions

I like it. Would you consider Edward and then Bear as the nickname?

Its just like a pretend name, like a cutie nickname you might call your 3 year old, then it sticks and you end up being called it as a grown man and wish everyone wouldn't.

I wouldn't, but I think you should.

LOL @ trying for a baby in 2 years time. All my DC's were spur of the moment babies!

Only if your surname is Arse or Bum for comedy value.
Other than that leave well alone.
