This page shows the Bear (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 2018 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Bear was recorded as a first name for boys in Scotland: the number of babies given the name that year and the name's rank among Bear's first-name rivals that year — that is, the rank the source table itself gives the row, among all first names for boys that year.

The record for Bear for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Bear appears in 8 of them, from 2018 to 2025, with 54 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2020, when the table records 10 babies given the name, at rank 350 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 2018 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Bear for boys are simply not listed. The publisher suppresses names with a total count of 2 or less in Scotland, so no figure here stands below 3.
