if you met someone with a baby named Bernard, what would you honestly think?

[misdee]

go on!

i can take it

I think it is cute!

sorry misdee, i think of a dog, then bernards watch

but i do quite like the name!

it's kind of sweet, and you never, ever hear it nowadays do you?

Yes Califrau, but you're an American!!! And even though I love you guys, your taste in names is about 8 yrs behind GB!

8 yrs ago I would have thought Bernard was a joke name for a rat, so I cannee blame you.

What Tatties said. I love Annie Rose and Alfie as names, so why not Bernard.

I would thing of "Yes, Minister." And then I would think "Oh well, at least it's not Sequoia"

I'd think cool. And then "Not now Bernard" . I don't like Bernie as a shortening though (not sure why). Beenie would be nice!

schnorbitz.

Um, Eliz, Califrau is Welsh.

I'd think "poor child". Sorry.

I'd think really? Bernard? Golly.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

i would piss myself laughing

Oh is she!???? I thought she was Californian!!!!

Oh well. Califrau, you dislike Bernard because you are Welsh!! Do you like it like this though Byrnyrd?

Unusual. Nothing wrong with unusual.

Misdee, if you do go for Bernard, please promise you will NOT get a dog named Schnorbitz. Please.

i would think of my dad!! cos that was his name BUT sorry to say he had everyone call him tony when he was younger

she lives is California. but she is Welsh.

I would think of nursey in Black Adder II

It's cute

I would also think of Blackadder. Or Four Weddings and a Funeral. And probably say it to myself in an exaggerated fashion

I would think he has been named after grandad/great grandad.

I'd think "Oh how cool" because I know a very cool guy called Bernard - he is in his sixties and he's been a fabulous person for a good chunk of my life.
We always called him Bernardo or Bernard. Never Bernie.

Would sound good as pronounced in France, though. And France is nearer than America, so he might go more often.
