Bernard

If Bernard is pronounced the American way, I'm not keen on it. If it's said the UK way, like "Bernid", then it's a lovely name.

Also pronounced ber-NERD.

I think it is pronounced BER-nard in England, but Ber-NAHR in America. Can't testify as to how everyone everywhere does it though.

I have never heard anyone call Bernard, ber-NAHR in America. It's pronounced BER-nard. Maybe if you had some sort of accent it'd be ber-nahr but I've never heard ber-nahr before.

I confirm that in England, Bernard is pronounced BER-nard or in simple speak bern-ed.

Bernard is an old family name from my Mom's side. It has always been pronounced BER-nard rather than ber-NAHD by my family who originate in Yorkshire and Norfolk.
