Name That Bear!
Good morning!Lorne gave me an adorable Gund Bear (I've been wanting a Teddy Bear from Lorne for a while), but he came with a hideous name. Well, maybe it's not that bad, but it just doesn't sound like a Teddy Bear Name to me.
So I propose a contest... Name That Bear! His cuddly self is depicted to the right. Does he inspire any fun names? Please post your name ideas to comments.
Thanks so much!
Lara

Thanks! Some great ideas!
Bearingia... very clever!
Badger... very obvious! (For anyone who knows about my obsession with anything Badger)
Chinook... VERY appropriate!
Harper... Great name does my bear look like the PM of Canada?? Who left this one?

What about Sasha (as in the boy's name)? No particular reason except that I like the name and it sounds like a good teddy bear name.

Hard to compete with such gifted bearers o' names, but I will try.
How about "Brown"?
or.... "Checkmate" -- see ribbon.
Love, M.

I can see why "Anonymous" might have suggested "Harper". If you look at the bear in the picture closely, it does seem to have that perfectly manicured hair and slightly robotic gaze about it. Can it be programmed by its masters to say things like Steven Harper can? Uh, I mean like Teddy Ruxpin can?
Other cool bear names:
- B.
- Stuffinghead Bear
- Scat
- That Bear (you DID say to "name that bear")

I recommend Finnigan.
Like the character from Mr. Dressup, Casey and Finnigan.
Best of luck in your search for a name.

Hi Lara,
I don't know anything about the context but beeing French, my own contribution to your new teddy bear's name will be in French: "Gueule d'amour". "Gueule" corresponds to the face. It's spoken French. "avoir une gueule d'amour" = to be cute.
Hope it helps.
Love,
Muriel

How about "Nalle"?
It means teddy bear in Finnish.
(I'm sure Isaac and Matias would also love that name...)

MIchael!
How dare you say that my bear has a "slightly robotic gaze"!!!
I'll take the perfectly manicured hair, and leave the gaze thank you very much.
Truth be told, he does have quite a bit of a tummy so in that sense resembles our PM...

Hey Sis,
I recommend 'Maximus' but I also like 'Beary'. I think he needs a tough name considering he's not wearing any pants, so maybe the former is a better choice (even though I am partial to the latter)!!!

Yes, our family votes for "Nalle," as in Nalle Poh! (that's Winnie the Pooh!)
