Sorry you dont like it --if id had a little girl (as opposed to a hat-trick of boys!) she would have had the name Bernardette. My dad was bernard , shortened to Bunny.

No exciting origins to my name, though as I had to go through being called Tracy mid 'VIZ' popularity I hated it as I constantly got reminded of the 'Fat S***s' in the magazine

My daughter Mia however was named after the heroin overdosing,weird,crime bosses wife in Pulp Fiction....i'm nothing if not classy

My Aunty is Bernadette - everyone calls her Benny

We're Irish on my Mom's side (Mary Theresa but everyone called her Terry) - Lesley Angeline, Vanessa Bernadette, Rebecca Jayne, Fiona Annette, Kenneth Alec.

I've always wondered why people of a certain age were often called by their second names, my Dad is Kenneth John but everyone calls him John....

I'm Emma Myra (and that is a whole different story, Myra after my Granma) but we named our daughter Elizabeth (Lizzie) Rose after my mum, who died when I was nine so I really don't remember anything about her. Her name was Elizabeth Roe (Roe was her surname). My husband's Nan was called Rose and I really couldn't choose between Lizzie or Rosie. The funny thing was, I could never have entertained having a little girl, but when she came along after having had my son and having lost a baby boy at 21 weeks I just knew she had to be a Lizzie!
