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!

I love Laurence. Bit ruined by bloody Laurence fox though.

He looks like a Toby or an Arthur?

TenThousandSpoons · 04/01/2022 22:01

Freddie or Henry.
He’s beautiful, congratulations Flowers

One of my DC have Bear as a middle name and he absolutely loves it!! He does tell me his friends think he's joking but that's probably because he tells them he's actually a bear.

Your baby is beautiful OP.

Know you said not popular but I think he looks like a Henry Bear or Arthur Bear! Also think a more classic first name goes really well with Bear as a middle.

Alexander for me

Congratulations! I think he's a Russell, Declan, Garrett, Justin or Tristan. Also, just throwing out some alternatives to Bear if this is of interest.... Edward, Theo, Theodore and Arthur would all offer the nickname of Bear.

Your baby is beautiful OP.

It's a VERY common middle name. I know at least 2 people who have chosen Bear as a middle name and that was 5 years ago. Even more popular nowadays.

What a sweetie.

He looks like a Samuel to me.
