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!

@thewhatsit

I think he looks like a Wilbur (Will)
I don't usually think babies look like any name. But I agree he is a Wilbur!

Or Bertie maybe.

Congratulations op.

How about Leo?

My son is James and had number 2 been another boy it would have been Frederick - likely nn Rick

Love Richard as well which is due a comeback (brother's name so couldn't use it)

Austin, NN Ozzy Bear,
Alexander Bear NN Alex Bear, or Zander Bear,

Fedupatforty · 04/01/2022 20:44

Douglas. He could be Dougie Bear when he’s little and then Doug once he grows up which would work with a longer surname.
