Bernadette?

DawnJM25 · November 2011

DD is Carolyn Violet, DS is Henry Arthur. Thoughts on Bernadette to complete the sibset? Ideas for mn?

One more thing...

I'm not into youneek/trendi names. I also like names that flow and have a variety of sounds. Nothing that starts with an M, please- that's our last name. Thanks!!

Ever since Big Bang Theory, Bernedette has been one of my guilty pleasure names. Love it! Are there any familiy members that you would like to honor in the middle name slot? We are using Jane or Victoria if we have a girl, and Lawrence if we have a boy, after our parents.

Yes

nettie?

For me, Bernadette falls into the category of old lady names that are not quite "cool again" yet, like Emma, Harriet, Ada, etc. I could maybe get behind Bernadette if you were using a nice nn.

I don't usually like that name, but in that sibset I think it's quite adorable!

Not a fan of it, but it goes well with your other kids names.

Love Bernadette! It was on my name list for a long time. I also know a Bernadette who goes by Bernie. Not very feminine I know but cute because it's a little quirky.

But I maybe a bit biased for Bernie because my grandmother was supposed to be named Bernice (her birth certificate was misspelled Vernice) and the family called her Bernie or Vernie as a nn so I've got a soft spot for the name.

As for mn I'd keep it on the short side. Maybe Grace, Faith or Rose.

I love Bernadette. I am still trying to keep it in the name pool

This is me too. I think it sounds a little odd for a baby, remind me of an eldery lady. I like what PP suggested for middle names. Collete is beautiful, what do you think of that for a first name?

I want to like it, and it does complete the sibset nicely, but I just hate the possibility of the nn Bernie (the suggestion of Nettie as a nn is kinda cute though). Also, I think Carolyn is so much more beautiful and softer sounding than Bernadette. I just don't like it. Sorry.

I don't know if I really like it....but I will say if you decide to go with it be prepared to hear a reference to Big Bang Theory A LOT.

My name is Bernadette and my given middle name is Angelina (changed it to my maiden name when I got married). My mom is Bernadette as well and her middle name is Mary. I like my name (I wasn't a huge fan when I was a kid and wished I was a Sarah or Amy or something else simple but its grown on me). No one calls me Bernie, most of my friends call me B.

I actually don't feel like it matches Carolyn and Henry. I think it's a great mn though.
