Ithil, perhaps, or Anin?  
Aroha - maori for love, or, if he’s the friendly, easy-going type, may I recommend Ka Pai?

I have to admit, I was totally mystified for a couple seconds and then almost snorted cherry Coke through my nose. ow.  
My next bear’s name will definitely be Camem.

My crib-bear was Radar (R.I.P.–brutally murdered by a cruel, heartless, yet cute McNab puppy ☹ ), current bear is Ralph. Other bears I have known: Opus, Calvin, Horatio, Laertes, and my absolute favorite… Steve. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever met a she-bear.

Peace,
