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!

@Blossomandbee

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

Elias…we are going with this as a middle name :)

He is absolutely beautiful Flowers

Don't know what sort of name you are after.
I love the name James but it's probably dry popular.

Huge congrats OP, what a little cutie 🥰 Arthur Bear I think would really suit him. I also love Ted/Teddy but that won't work for obvious reasons!!

Rupert is cute but taken by a close friend.

My first thought was James but it wouldn't really work to have two sons with the same name! Others that might work...

Ezra
Felix
Henry
June
Levi
Max
Reuben
Rory
Seth
William
Zeb
