If it were me, I would give it a favorite name, like (in my case) Henry or Kate. That may sound strange, but my thinking is this: by choosing a name like Freedom or Celebration, you really attach the bear eternally to the separation and divorce, and therefore also to your ex. By giving it a completely unrelated name that you love, you make it really all about you and your life, not about the separation, the divorce or the ex. Best wishes, whatever you choose!

i agree with deedee. if you name it anything in reference to your newfound freedom (while it's absolutely wonderful that you have your freedom now), it is still by reference attached to your ex in that way.

if it helps, all my teddies have goofy names (at least, names that i felt were goofy). elliot, floyd, bernie, dooley, etc...
