Very pretty. I met a preteen girl named Bernadette a while ago and thought her name was absolutely beautiful.

Bernadette and Bernadetta are really cute in my opinion. As for nicknames, Bern is a lovely option.

I think it sounds cute and dainty but I can see it on a grown woman too. It’s also the name of one of my favorite characters from The Big Bang Theory :)

A strong yet eminently delicate and feminine name. Quintessentially Catholic. Bernadette has an ethereal quality that always makes me think of heaven.

I love this name! I wish I had a name like Bernadette instead of something "popular". Saint Bernadette of Lourdes is my confirmation saint. I wish that I could be more like her and love Jesus and Mary the way she did. What an honor and privilege it would be for a little girl to bear the name of Bernadette! Bring it back!

I absolutely love the name "Bernadette"! It sounds strong and beautiful and intelligent at the same time... I wish it was my name! I have no idea why it is so uncommon, it is such a great name. To the Bernadettes out there: Be proud! You have such a lovely, underused name. People always remember a Bernadette, but there is nothing trashy or made-up or "youneeke" about it. A stand-out name, one of my all-time favorites :)

There's a beautiful (albeit a bit dark) song called "Bernadette" by IAMX, in which the singer is in love with a woman named Bernadette, and in one way or another he cuts her off from her loved ones so she can be his and his alone.

I am fond of this name. My grandfather was Bernard; What a beautiful tribute... and to modernize it, I would call my daughter Bette. I think it's edgy and modern and a little rock and roll. :)

There is a really beautiful song about Saint Bernadette called "Song of Bernadette" written by Leonard Cohen and sung by Jennifer Warnes. My mother used to play her album when I was little and I always thought Bernadette was a beautiful name, noble and feminine and comfortable. I also have a grandfather whose middle name was Bernard so if I have a daughter in the future, I may choose it for a first name. I didn't think it sounded old-fashioned, but anyway many old names are new again (like Atticus for boys etc.)

I absolutely love this name. It's classy, graceful and feminine but not overly frilly - it reminds me a lot of 'Barbara' that way. Definitely on my shortlist. Besides, I love the story of St Bernadette.

My uncle named his daughter Bernadette and she's 31 years-old now. I love the name, it totally fits my cousin. When I say she's my cousin, 'Bernadette', people ALWAYS remember her name. It's a unique and bold name and sure to be remembered and recognized.
