Baby boy due this month.
Set on the name Bernie ❤️

It’s classic, not too common but not a really “out there” name. What do you think?

Not really a fan. I see beanie, and think of Bert and Ernie.

"They'll never make any mo ey, Bernie I said, they'll never make any money."

Makes me think of Life of Brian every time.

I have an Uncle Bernie so it does feel quite retro to me. I'd also use Bernard as the full name. Bernie is a nickname

It’s not for me but it isn’t offensive in any way. Reminds me of Bert n Ernie, although it’s neither of those names.

Love it. I’m personally a fan of “full” names so Bernard nn Bernie but I completely understand the argument not to name a child something they’ll never be called.
