Bearfilter: Help me name this grizzly bear bean bag!

My friend recently got a bean bag shaped like a bear and we are struggling to find a suitable funny and cute name for it. So for we had 'Urs', 'An Béar', and 'el oso'.

I thought the hive-mind might have some fascinating suggestions.

I think you should call her "Bea", since these letters are common to both "bear" and "bean".
And you did ask the hive mind.

A stereotypically Balkan name, like Vlad, maybe?

I apologize if this is culturally insensitive, not my intention.

Duna is the unicycle-riding bear from The Pension Grillparzer, the short-story-within-a-story from John Irving's The World According to Garp.

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair (the bean bag isn't fuzzy is it?)
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy, was he?
