I need a name for a teddy bear...

[BellaBear]

My mum has just bought DS a beautiful teddy bear, one of these and it needs a name.

I think it's a boy (are teddy bears always boys?) and that it should have a french name because it is a french bear.

This is a chance for all those who like naming their children something sensible but secretly yearn for something a bit more unusual!

So far I thought of Alphonse.

Do your worst best!

PS am aware this isn't teddy bear names topic, but bear with me. boom boom.

Bruin

Jacques
Nicolas (silent s)

I'm edging in favour of Monsieur Henri

will also see what DH likes.

I like this totally frivolous naming thing. Not quite as much pressure as babies. or cats.

We have a bear called Thierry. After the footballer.

I know it's not French, but Rusty is a very good name for a bear....

Monsieur Robert? Prononced Rob-bear

How about "Arthur"? It is believed that this name derives from the Greek word for bear "arktos" and an old celtic word for bear "arto".

Yes ARnaud is Arno.

Hmmm... I really should find another hobby other than looking up names on these things

Now, I know you wanted a French name but I just looked deeply into that bear's eyes and something told me its name was Monty.

Go on, no one has let me name their baby - let me name the bear, pleeeeaaaaaaase!

Wow LaVida - that makes me ....Sweetie Fine-Young-Chief

fantastic - I'm going to insist on being called that now!

I had a boyfriend called Arnaud.

Don't know if it's already been said, but if you need a French name, then Al it is. Al Bear...

Excellent Silverfrog!

dd1 has an Al Bear that we got for her before she was born (she seems to think his name is Owl, but I'm sure she'll get it one day!)

Since my Monty suggestion is being ignored I'm going to suggest:

Orson ;)
Bentley

Its got to be Theodore then you can call him Teddy for short!

sorry - all cute teddies for some reason are called humphrey - not very french

gorgeous goreous bear!!!!

really laughing out loud at these

al-bear is so cool

thank you so much for all your help, we are deliberating!

Monté?

I quite like it ... maybe he doesn't need to be french?

My teddy bear name is Lady Sticky-Mouth. DH is Theodore Sticky-Mouth.
