Re: UK BAs (including Zsa Zsa, Orabel, Perdie and Coco)
God, so many of these names are pretentious. Then again, not surprising coming from the Telegraph.What's the reasoning behind Bear as a name in the UK? I've noticed that all the babies I've heard of with Bear as a middle or first name seem to be British. I'm suspecting that it has to do with Bear Grylls (which isn't his real name, FTR).

Bear Grylls, and also the chef Jamie Oliver has a son named Buddy Bear Maurice, and Kate Winslet has a Bear Blaze. I guess people are very influenced by celebrities.
