Welcome to the weird celebrity baby name club!

Former One Direction singer Liam Payne and his girlfriend, Cheryl, welcome their baby boy five weeks ago but decided to not give the child a name quite yet.

After spending some time "getting to know their baby," the couple have chosen to name their son Bear Payne.

We're not sure what the new baby did to be named after a large, hairy mammal, but we trust the parents to know their son.

A source explained the couple's decision to The Sun saying, “they’d been thinking of a name since meeting him and they just felt it suited him."

We wish you the bear-y best, baby Payne.
