I was almost named Bérénice (m)
my mother is French and considered it for a long time but she liked the other name better (the one I have now) and was also worried people would call me Barry or Berry. She said she almost named me after a character in a book, but I don't remember the title. It's pronounced beh-reh-NEES in French. But the EH is really long, not short. You can listen to it here: http://de.forvo.com/search/berenice/I don't like the other pronunciations but I do like Bernice.It's funny, but I actually did meet another one in school. Her sister was named Chantal and they were both German.
