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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

Don't forget "Roxy Crimefighter"!! Seriously - if you could read the baby names that get published with their pictures once a week for birth announcements - you'd think this one was downright normal. It's truly amazing to me how much parents seem to hate their kids because they are giving them names that either you can't spell, can't pronounce, or both - or don't EXIST on this planet in any language yet known to humankind. I have to give props to the mom who had twin girls a while back, and she had the good taste to name them Melody and Harmony. Now THAT'S nice........
Bear? OK - whatever melts your butter - he'll be right in there with all the other showbiz kids with odd names too - none of them will think a thing about it.
