Guest Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I will let the children decide BUT I am starting a new class with a new 'Barnaby Bear' and wondered what names you have for your 'bear that goes home' with the children, if you have one! Quote
lashes2508 Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) The setting had Ron the rabbit when I arrived but we have a new bear with our t shirt on so we thought ' buddy ' as he will be there buddy Edited August 20, 2015 by lashes2508 1 Quote
blondie Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 we have a bear that goes home called buddy - but the children all seem to name him what they like whilst he is with them 1 Quote
sunnyday Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 We have a dog called Pat (pat the dog) :1b 1 Quote
lashes2508 Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 One of our preschoolers got a new cat and wanted to call him 'chase' , chase the cat funnily his mum declined personally I thought it would be great , sorry slight detour but sunny day' pat the dog ' reminded me of this Quote

blondie Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 reminds me of when we got a kitten when my son was young - we asked him to name her - his reply was his favourite tv programme at the time - "jamie and the magic torch" needless to say we didn't call the kitten that and settled for "jess" lol Quote
lashes2508 Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Oh I used to love that programme too singing the theme tune now in my best rock voice ! Quote
lsp Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 We have 'Flip' the bear. No idea why?? It's always been called that. Quote
Guest Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) We have 'Flip' the bear. No idea why?? It's always been called that. I like that. Ideally, I would like to have a name that is unlikely to be used as a child's name, so 'Flip' would be good. Any other ideas welcome! Thanks for all your thoughts everyone. :1b Here he is - thought you might like to meet the 'bear with no name'! Edited August 20, 2015 by Guest Quote
Fredbear Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Bernard or Bernadette ( meaning bold as a bear) Biggles Bumpkin Batch Travis Don't ask me why I have chosen some of these. Quote

lsp Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Our bear Flip has an interesting life. We realised it was a very masculine bear, so next time it appeared, it was as his twin sister Bella who arrived with her backpack!! The children love it and it is one of the few things that we manage to engage most parents with. 2 Quote
