I used to love Kate but since her Oscar win she seems to have really changed.
I also hate people giving "out there" names to a child. The kid has to live with that until they are at least 18. Do the parents not ever think about how having an off the wall name might affect their child. Okay, so in celebrity circles weird names are all the rage but I still think it's cruel. This reminds me of Jamie Oliver, who has called his kids Daisy Boo and Buddy Bear. Just horrible.

I heard she's not used RocknRoll for his surname, so that's something at least. But still, Bear? What's wrong with these celebrities?
Let's hope!
Teddy Bear might have been better.
I'm always amazed at how normal, polite and nice Duncan Jones seems to be.
Maybe it's the mirror image of tearaway teenagers rebelling against their straight-laced parents.
They are selfish, self indulgent idiots, and lumbering their poor kids with these ridiculous names is another form of child abuse, and could scar them for life.
Perhaps she will at least bestow the kid a decent middle name, so he can use that when he's older!!
This.
It's also like they all try and out-do each other with the most "unique" name. Such a load of nonsense.
Oh I don't know, hasn't done Bear Grylls any harm
his name is Edward - Bear is his nickname.
I know, hence the smilie.
All she needs to do now is have another child and name it after a fruit, and her celebrity credentials will be complete.
Perhaps it was a compromise? She got the pick the surname, he got the first name? I think the kid got off lightly when you consider the father's surname...
I can imagine any interviewer trying to keep a straight face when interviewing Kate's child if they've chosen the same career path as her. She's just stupid.
