Here is what I posted about [name_m]Espen[/name_m] in another thread -The story behind why [name_m]Espen[/name_m] “[name_m]Bear[/name_m]” would be special, for those that would like to know. When I was around 4 or 5 years old I received a teddy bear from my uncle and aunt that was bigger then I was for [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]. This started I love for all things bear. I collected all types of bears up until about 10 years ago. Family members would find bear items on trips around the states, and also around the world. I received bear items for special occasions; graduation, birthdays, marriage, a pregnancy, etc.
My mom and son ended up jumping in to help with a middle name for [name_m]Espen[/name_m]. I wanted to honor my brother. In no time we realized that a fun way would be something related to The Beatles. [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_m]Rigby[/name_m] is one of his favorite songs, though he loves them all. Yep, my son and I ended up listening to Beatles songs for a couple hours afterword.
So [name_m]Espen[/name_m] [name_m]Rigby[/name_m] “[name_m]Bear[/name_m]”.
My mom is enjoying discussing names. Yes, I am blessed with a mom I can discuss names with. She has declared [name_m]Espen[/name_m] [name_m]Rigby[/name_m] and [name_u]Gray[/name_u] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] her favorite boy combos so far but said she enjoys all of them. She said she has always found men named [name_u]Gray[/name_u] to be distinguished. My mom is in her 70s, I was adopted and my parents were older parents. Hearing her take on things is interesting.
