Bernadette

in Baby Names
It's the title character in a popular book I was just thinking of starting.  I'm not currently pregnant, but wondering what you all think?  It sounds kind of refreshing to me.  I haven't known a Bernadette since I was a kid.  Thoughts?

    I know a Bernadette.. She's in her late teens. The whole name doesn't sound bad, but I really REALLY dislike the nicknames. It reminds me of names like Thelma, Louise (lol), Jeanette, Yvonne, etcetera

    Love that it means brave as a bear. I like the nn Birdie. It does make me think of the Big Bang Theory though.

    I think of Bernadette from the Big Bang Theory. I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's not bad.

    I think it's pretty!  That's my 10 year old cousin's name, Bernadette Olivia.

    I love it, it's on our girl list. I think it's a really sweet name. And I love PPs suggestion of Birdie as a nn.

    I've met a Bernadette, she's in her early-mid 20s, i think it's nice!! I also like the suggestion of the nn Birdie because Bernie is just not an attractive name for a girl

    I like it! Another nn option could be Etta.

    I just read about St Bernadette, so the name went up in my list of names to like after that
