Giving a correct and beautiful name to a little bear is a question as difficult and responsible as giving a name to a small child. After all, the bear cub in the future will turn into an adult bear, which will have its own character, its own individual characteristics, its own unique appearance. If you are faced with such a difficult task, take this issue as seriously as possible. And before making a final decision, weigh the pros and cons, remembering that the name of the bear is given, first of all, to characterize the animal, and not for the entertainment of others.
Instructions
Step 1
Before choosing a name, take a closer look at the appearance of the bear cub, maybe he will immediately remind you of some literary or fairy-tale hero, movie character, actor, politician or just a famous person. Unusual features of appearance can also help: a speck of a different color on the coat or an irregular shape of any part of the body. For example, if the bear is short, name it Shorty. For a bear cub who promises to become a real giant, the name King Kong or Giant is suitable.
Step 2
Try to determine the character of the bear. In many animals, like in humans, it is clear from childhood what they will be like when they grow up. Your good-natured teddy bear or angry, stubborn or flexible, funny or serious - all this can give ideas for the future name of the animal. If a bear frowns his eyebrows since childhood, the name Grumpy will suit him, and a serious and reasonable animal can be called, for example, The Thinker.
Step 3
Sometimes your pet's culinary preferences can help when choosing a name. If the bear loves honey, the name Sweet Tooth will suit him, if, on the contrary, he prefers meat, call him a more serious name.
Step 4
For the animal to respond, the chosen name must be sonorous, monosyllabic and easy to remember for the bear itself.
Step 5
If the choice of a nickname for a bear is difficult for you, organize a competition for the best version of the name. This will be a socially significant event for several reasons. Firstly, it is always interesting for others to take part in the life of animals, especially small ones. And secondly, people's interest increases if they are offered a worthy reward, for example, a photo session with a teddy bear. This experience was applied by the Leningrad Zoo, when a pair of polar bears Uslada and Menshikov gave birth to two cubs. The residents of the city took an active part in the choice of names for the babies. There were variants related to football, for example Zenith and Champion, Dick and Goose; with literature, Chuk and Gek; with the characters of bear cubs, Bully and Naughty.
