Im sure most of you posters that are skeptical of naming your child into your beliefs have children named betsy or amanda or jill and jan. Grow up and be unique and not so frightened of what others think, then maybe your child will be as strong as a Bear!

so who knows what your middle name is, only your family and close friends, i bet. and nobody cares.
red hot chili peppers rock! and nobody can sing like anthony kiedis, he is the best!

.....and it's a known fact that, prisoners, or inmates, call each other 'Dog'.....
okay, this is irrelevant....but, this dork naming his kid 'Bear', was relevant, how?!?!

It's being kept a secret that, the original choice for the kids' middle name was, 'AL'

Anthony is a really amazing person. If you've ever read his autobiography, you'll probably agree with me. He's wanted a kid for forever but never found a girl who wanted one, too. I'm a big RHCP fan and I'm really happy for him :] and I think Everly Bear is a beautiful name.

Why doesn't Anthony give hime a middle name like "Sue" or maybe "Jerk" that his old man should have been named. Get real Antnee. Your not naming your pet poodle.

It's an old-fashioned Eastern European Jewish name. Who knew that Kiedis was Jewish? Take THAT, Adam Sandler!

What an idiot..don't people know that your name is what sets your life path..UGGG. Stupid man. This child will be forever made fun of. Nice Dad. Maybe this baby should have a Mother with a back bone. Then again, maybe she's STUPID as well.

It's not bad for a Middle Name! My son had a friend whose father gave him a middle name of "Bow", because he didn't know it was spelled "Beau"!! Then he went all through school known as "Bow", as that was what his parents called him!!

The baby's first name is Everly and his middle name is Bear. His father is a famous rocker and his mother is a model... he probably won't have to worry about getting friends.

Who even cares? The man has the same right as you do to name his child WHATEVER HE WANTS! The tools who write on here need to stop being so self-righteous. You people should worry about your own family & maybe your kids won't turn out to be as retarded as you are.

I read his biography and he is alot more intellectual than most. There has to be a reason why he selected an "E" name and the kid will just probably be called E.B.

please let us first off figure out that rocker applies to those who actually play rock n roll not punk, hip hop, rap,acid rock etc. next off why is this important in human events as a whole.

Hey , what,s wrong with "BUBBA:"some peeps just have no respect for the good ole southern boys.

i was a young hippie when i had my son. i gave him an unusual name which meant a lot to me. when he was in second grade he changed his name to joe. in third grade he was back to his original name. now he loves his name. he says it always made him stand out, and in this homogonized world, that is a good thing. bear is a wonderful middle name.

Anthony picked the first name and his 22 year old te baby momma actually picked Bear as the middle name...sounds like the name for a stuffed animal...maybe she thought it sounded native american...instead of just contrived!

Still better than Apple, and he had the decency to bury it in the middle

el es muy muy tonto. El es estupido, no?

Bear is not bad. At least they had the since to make it the middle name. Show biz gives us names like Tallulah Bell, Pilot Inspektor, Dweezil....
Bear is, if you'll pardon the pun, quite tame.
