That not only sounds like it should, it also fits rather nicely - "Baer" (or "Bär", as it is written in German) actually means "Bear". I would suggest "mon" as in "money".

And with the emphasis on the first syllable.

the ae in german is an "ä" like the vocal in "where", and the "a" in "mann" you speak like the u in "fun". So in english like "Bheremunn"?
Hope this helps...
