This is Ben's current #1 name for our son...because we're having a boy, he's certain of it.

Ben's name Bernard means bold as a bear...I don't know why we can't just name him Bernard?!

Can't you do Bernard and call him Bear?

What's he going to do if you have a girl?

Ben is a total hippy to even think about naming that kid Bear. Though I personally think its adorable. Though if he ever becomes a lawyer or something like that it might be a little off putting. So set the kid up to be a movie star or an athlete and he will be good to go.

I thought that, too!

Honestly, though, when I said Bear out loud with your last name...I didn't hate it.

My sister graduated with a kid named Bear. It was only at graduation we learned his name was actually something else....don't remember what though.

Nolan always said the kids have to have a 'business card name' just in case....so he wouldn't have gone for Bear, but I love it as a nickname. A girl on my month board's kid is named Barrett but she calls him bear.

AND you're totally having a girl!

In a book I was just reading the girl was name Ursula and because it meant "little bear".  I actually really like the idea of naming him Barrett and calling him Bear.

You girls are not helpful at all! Haha

Barrett with your last name is totally a business card name!

amccul20

Ben doesn't like Barrett. We just spent the last 30 min discussing names. He really likes George, Wiley, and Bear. That's it.

Oooo George is on my short list, it's my dad's name.

But wiley?! Really?

Wiley was bens grandfathers name. But ben has said he doesn't want to name our child something where after you tell a person the name you have to say, it's a family name.

Which is obviously what we'd have to do with Wiley
