It will be your child, you should name him or her what you want. The chef Jamie Oliver named one of his kids Buddy Bear, so it's not entirely uncommon.
Okay, Jamie Oliver is NOT from whom you want to be taking your naming cues! His kids are:
Poppy Honey Rosie (cringe)
Daisy Boo Pamela (Boo?!?)
Petal Blossom Rainbow (what the fuck even is this name?!?)
Buddy Bear Maurice (this name has multiple personality disorder, and unfortunately the worst one is at the front)
His genius clearly does not extend to naming children...

I'm aware of what his kids names are. The point of me bringing him up was to say that ops choice of the name Bear wouldn't be that unheard of. Celebrities give zero fudges what people think of their name choices (Apple... Blue Ivy...), why should the rest of us care?
Fwiw I'm not a huge fan of his to begin with. I prefer Anne Burrell or Bobby Flay

You shouldn't use a ridiculous name just because it's been done before, even if by a celebrity. And the rest of us should care what we name our kids because history and linguistics.

Andplusalso, "it's your kid, name said kid whatever you want!!" is a really craptastic argument because your poor kid has to live with that name for their entire life. Until they legally change it because, seriously, Petal and Buddy got the shortest end of this incredibly short stick. You're naming a human being who will have to go out in the world and be legitimate and respected and taken seriously.
I don't even like the name Augustus, but I think Augustus Bear is awesome! It's a little nerdy/manish but with some cool cowboyishness to it.
During my first trimester I wanted to use Theodore Behr (like the paint lolomg) and call my son Teddy Bear. My hormones leveled out, and I just use Bear as a nickname now

Because when my kids go to school or apply for a job they won't get special treatment because of who their parents are. There also isn't a multi-million dollar family fortune for them to fall back on if they struggle professionally. The rest of us, and our kids, have to live in the real world.

Bear is an awesome middle name. I think it'a very important to give kids good solid first names, but the middle name slot is where you get to let the freak flag fly and do pretty much whatever you want. They can always just use an initial or drop it later if they hate it.
