Ok
I love Cedric, as you may know.
Dh does not like it so much.
We do both agree on Bernard (Bernie) I really like it but dont love it as much as i do Cedric.
what is the opinion on Bernard (although i think i can guess )

Dizzydixies - when i had ds we sat in the delivery room trying to decide between Herbert and Amos - they were the only two names that made it that far!
We went for Amos in the end - but we still lile Herbert nn Herb.
Dh loves Hector, but there are quite a few around our way.
My dd was also nearly herbert, but she was a she ant thought she might prefer to be called Pearl and at 4 years old she definately orefers it!
I think Herbert is still in the running, but at the mo, i prefer Cedric, sounds a bit fresher to me - i guess because it is a new love and not an old one!

It was my housemistress's nickname at boarding school

Other than that it's a very sweet name

If you want to use the name Bernard - or Cedric for that matter, get your dp to change his name. The call the baby something which won't make him hunt you down like a dog as soon as he's old enough to get a gun licence.....

I went out with a Bernard at Uni ... he was lovely ... but I still snigger childishly when I think of his name ... I wonder why that one didn't work out!

Dizzydixies - if it was down to dh alone another ds would be Herbert so you never know!

tummytickler - don't be teasing me now

I quite like it, but I wouldn't use it.

How about Hubert?

Ds1 has it as a middle name.
