Help[Opinions] Orson
I was looking up names meaning "bear" and came across Orson, which means "bear cub." It's kind of sweet! Plus it reminds me of Orson Welles, whom I studied with my favorite professor. My SO and I met at college orientation, so I thought it might be nice to use a name that is tied to the school. Our mascot is a bear, plus the connection to something I studied makes me a little in love with Orson.
WDYT?
ETA: For a girl, I was thinking of using Shea, as that's the name of the building we were in when we met, and I've always kind of liked it. Or we could use June, as that's the month during which we met.

Orson is a wonderful, hidden treasure of a name. I share your love of bears and Orson is similar to two of my favorites, Orsino and Ursula. Have you ever seen Mr. Welles in "The Third Man?" I highly recommend it. Are you looking for mns?
I'm not as keen on Shea, but if it has significance for you then I can understand. And I do have Shea Connemara as one of my stock combos. So I do see the appeal. I suppose Shea O'Kitty would be too cute, huh? It's just that I see you have "fur babies" which I assume are cats, yes? :-P
I prefer June or Juno (= goddess month is named for) for a girl.

I would be using Orson as a middle name. I think I've decided on these as future potential children:
Isaac James Joseph
Ezra Orson Jesse
Leo Ray Emmanuel
Hazel Ellen Lee
Bea Dorothy Theresa
June Magnolia Maris
The two middle names in each other first combos for each gender are the mns of our parents. Jesse is the masculine form of my name. James is also my SO's mn, and his astrological sign is the Leo.
Ray, Emmanuel Dorothy, and Theresa are all his grandparents. Magnolia is the name of the street our first apartment together was on. My so grew up on the water, so I thought Maris was significant as well.
And, yes, my fur babies are cats ^.^
