Posts: 298I suddenly realized last night that hardly any of my bears have names. In fact, I can only think of one bear off the top of my head that I've named. I've only bought one artist bear that came with a name (Carrousel, Sir Edward 
), and I don't have any of the Gund or Russ bears that come with names from the manufacturer.
So what are your bear-naming practices? Do you tend to keep artists' names for your bears? Do you refer to your bears by names at all?
It's a mixed bag for me. Some of my bears came with names that just seemed perfect (or I gave them a great name), and I tend to remember those. For others I'd need to look up the name if the bear came with one. In general, though, I think of my bears more in terms of what they look like and which bears they hang out with rather than by a name. (My bears always seem to cluster in pairs or groups. Very few are "loners" 
)

Netcong, New JerseyI generally like to leave a bear with his given name by the artist or manufacturer because I figure they know best, but there are some exceptions......occasionally I'll name the bears (or bunnies) that have no names that I know of...but then sometimes I forget (oops) and have to stare into their eyes to see if I can remember. lol (It's an age thing).
There's these two silly bunnies that I bought down the shore one year on a whim because they were so darn cute, looking at me through the window of the shop.....begging me to take them home.....sooooo......presenting....Nit and Wit! 
Of course, all bears should have names.
