Arthur Bear

Thoughts on this combo? Do you like it or not really? The names Arthur means Bear btw.

It looks and sounds great, but it made me think to when people say ‘naan bread’ or ‘chai tea’* - that repetition with the knowledge of the cultural words history feels quite odd. I am well aware of the meaning of [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] though. However, I imagine that many/most non-name-nerd types won’t even realise that [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] means ‘bear’, so if you really love it (and bears, for that matter) go for it.

  • I mean, in [name_f]English[/name_f], it kind of does make sense when we say things this way as it is referring to a type of bread of tea to further specify it, but still…

I think it sounds good but it would bother me that they both have the same meaning. Not sure non-name nerds would even think about it though

No one will notice unless they know names but this is too [name_f]Moon[/name_f] [name_f]Moon[/name_f] meme to me.

I agree with the above posters. People who aren’t into names probably won’t notice, but it would bother me personally (if I had a child with this name). It’s a cute combo though!

The [name_m]Bear[/name_m] [name_m]Bear[/name_m] thing was what I immediately thought of when I read the title, and while that would bother me personally, I highly doubt that would cross the mind of the general population.

I don’t like it because you’re basically calling your child bear bear just once in welsh and once in English.

I love Arthur as a name and you could use bear as a nn. but personally I don’t like when people use two names from the same root/meaning in a name…for example Charlotte Caroline or Heidi Alice etc.
