Boys middle name which goes well with Bear?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!

We’ve chosen [name_m]Bear[/name_m] as the first name for our son (due in [name_u]July[/name_u]) but are casting around for a more traditional middle name which he can use as a grown up if he prefers.

It’s hard to find something because when you put [name_m]Bear[/name_m] with middle names they can start to sound silly. Our top names (aside from [name_m]Bear[/name_m]) were [name_u]Freddie[/name_u], [name_u]Sidney[/name_u] and [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m], but I feel like [name_m]Bear[/name_m] [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] in particular sounds like a joke.

Any suggestions? Would love to hear them!

Thanks

[name_f]Evey[/name_f]

One solution would be to have [name_m]Bear[/name_m] as the nickname, eg from [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Bernard[/name_m], [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] or [name_m]Orson[/name_m], all of which are nmes related to “[name_m]Bear[/name_m]”. That gives you more choices, and your child some options in life too.

But if that’s not desirable, how about:

[name_m]Bear[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_m]Bear[/name_m] [name_m]Calloway[/name_m]
[name_m]Bear[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Bear[/name_m] [name_m]Xander[/name_m]
[name_m]Bear[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Bear[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Bear[/name_m] [name_u]Curtis[/name_u]

Good luck!

I actually really like [name_m]Bear[/name_m] [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] from your list, it’s so cute, and I think it would age well.

From pp, I also like [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_u]Curtis[/name_u], and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m].

[name_m]Bear[/name_m] [name_u]Curtis[/name_u] makes me smile. It reminds me of [name_m]John[/name_m]-[name_u]Curtis[/name_u] from The Waltons.
