By 70s, I mean that the hairy man in The Joy of Sex looks like a Bernard.

I was going to say Not now Bernard!

It's quite 70s. Maybe due a comeback?

what about Bertrand instead? I have a French friend called Bertrand, Bert for short, and he is VERY nice

It's a manly name but...

St Bernard dogs probably make it seem a cuddly name

Bernard Manning was cuddly (other adjectives abound)

Bernard Matthews

sorry, hope this isn't putting you off.....

Sounds very dog like. Sorry!

If I met a Bernard toddler I'd think "poor thing, how could the parents do that?".
You did ask...!

tigerdriver · 13/05/2009 23:54

no, no, no, no and no.

that's a no. It just doesn't compute.

Bernie Winters?

Purlease.

I know two Bernards. One is deceased. A long time ago. One is someone my mum knows who is (allegedly) a bit dodgy.

First impressions are that of a middle aged man! But thinking about it more, if I met a toddler / child called bernard I would think he was the cutest, coolest little poppet ever . It would be a weird name for a baby, but both my dc's had names that didn't suit babies, I figured they're only tiny for a short time then they grow into a name.

You have to use it. Its quite cuddly.
