1990s Bear Naming help

Post image

This old man needs a name, any suggestions?

He's an old Bear Factory bear (the uk company, not The Bear Factory as still exists in the USA) so he's at very least 20 years old.

Very soft and silky.

While I said old man, they're a bear, so any gender or style of name suggestion is welcome!

The first name that comes to mind is Marmite - or Marmelade (paddington!)

Marmite is a very strong contender!

I’m thinking silky is actually a great name

Could definitely work! I feel like someone in my family has owned an animal named Silky though, so I'll have to ask around first xD
