After spending a week getting to know their baby boy, Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole were ready to decide on a name. 

According to a source quoted by The Sun, the couple decided on the name Bear several days after the child's birth. The boy will also be taking his father's surname. 

"They spent over a week getting to know him first before deciding..." the source said. "They didn't have the name Bear before the birth."

"But they'd been thinking of a name since meeting him and they just felt it suited him."

Bear is a fairy common name in the celebrity world. Both Kate Winslet and Alicia Silverstone named their sons Bear.
