So what does he mean by more traditional?
Well, while speaking at UK's KIIS FM, Liam actually revealed the name he wanted:
Arthur Payne.
ALRIGHT, so it's a lot better than Bear, we have to admit that, but what he said about the name made us LOL.
"I actually wanted Arthur," he began. "I think you sound like a bit of a tank - Arthur Payne. He's not a guy you'd mess around with. I don't think Bear is either, though."
We can't really help but think of this Arthur though:
Regardless, we already love little Bear, and don't think they'd choose such a name unless he suited it.
As for his middle name "Grey", Liam initially intended to give him his own middle name, "James."
Naw.
"It was going to be James, I was going to name him, because my middle name's James. I was gonna give him my middle name, but I like Grey. I prefer Grey."
