I instantly thought of Bear Grylls, who enjoys being a macho bloke out in the wild on TV; I looked him up and was not surprised to see that Bear is a nickname. His names are Edward Michael; his wife is Shara and their sons are Jesse, Marmaduke and Huckleberry. Thanks you, Wikipedia!

None of this makes me appreciate Bear as a human name. But, I live in a country which is bear-free, so apart from stuffed toys, there is no context for Bear here.
