Bear Blu??? ...would you?!!!

[MelinaM]

Alicia Silverstone has named her first child Bear Blu Jarecki!!! I'm all for unusual names, but feel this is quite simply bonkers!!!!

It's effing ridiculous. I know she's a crusty yoga-loving vegan but FFS that's an idiotic name for a living person.

Poor child.

On a side note, do you reckon her and hubby are

either that of the Jungle Book Bunny!!!!

I agree, they could have gone for a beautiful nature inspired name, but bloody Bear!!!!

Daft name. Could use BJ as a nickname!

Bear? Doesn't Jamie Oliver have one too?

Don't like it personally but it's got to be better than Moroccan .

Yes, Buddy Bear Maurice is Jamie's child, an equally horrendous moniker

Morocco maybe, but Moroccan is just cruel!

I would not. Its silly.

No, I wouldn't. But I have recently heard of a Bee and a Fox, so maybe animal names are this year's thing!

No, I wouldn't - it's bloody stupid.

I'm not keen. I do know a Tiger and a Wolf. I wonder what animals are next - Dog, Elephant, Spider?

My money's on Spider rachel

I quite like Bear (makes me think of Bear Grylls) but it's too cutesy with the Blu.

^He had a 'proper' name to begin with: Edward Michael ...he choose Bear himself

I feel 'Bear Blu' could lead to misunderstandings.

Especially amongst those who cannot spell, and confuse 'bare' with 'bear'.

Wouldn't work for me at all.

She should just drop the 'bear' and go with Blu which is a very fine name.

I like Bear. I would tolerate DH wanting Edward as I would call the baby Teddy Bear and then drop the teddy bit.
