You wouldn’t name your son Fuzzy Wuzzy or Yogi, but there are an awful lot of great boy names that bring to mind bears. Some literally mean bear, while others have been worn by a famous ursine.

He’s a sly fox, so is it any wonder he won the first January name narrow down?
Thanks to Jennifer for suggesting Reynard as our Baby Name of the Day.
Baby Name of the Day: Conan
He’s a saintly Irish appellation and a sci fi warrior.
Thanks to Violet for suggesting Conan as our Baby Name of the Day.

He’s the given name of The Simpson’s Krusty the Clown, but his past is surprisingly distinguished – and could be considered perfectly on trend.
Thanks to C in DC for suggesting Herschel as our Baby Name of the Day.
Baby Name of the Day: Dov

Today’s choice sounds like a peaceful bird, but he’s actually borrowed from a fiercer beast.
Thanks to Abbey for suggesting one she’s considering for baby #2! Our Baby Name of the Day is Dov.

How can a Top 100 boys’ name borrowed from a faithful Biblical figure be so very controversial?
Thanks to Kelly for suggesting the surprisingly complex Caleb as our Baby Name of the Day.

She rocketed into the US Top Ten thanks to a sitcom, but this Biblical choice has far more staying power than many pop culture hits.
Thanks to Kelly for suggesting Rachel as our Baby Name of the Day.
