Hmmm. I always hear it in the voice of Rowan Atkinson in Bernard and the Genie. I probably wouldn't.

I actually think it's great. It is not common and not used. It will come back, and I was waiting for it to be re-invented. I live abroad and the alternative Bernardo is used a lot here, it has become a very popular name re-established name. Old names like Alfred, Vincent, Sidney etc are all really popular names now. I think it would be nice to break that with an alternative but normal name. There's also Herbert and Hector.

I like it, I've been reading the book Not Now Bernard most days for about 2 years, It was also a fave of mine as a child. I think the name is charming.

It's unusual enough not to be common but is still a name everyone will have heard of, can pronounce and spell.
