I love this name! I wish I had a name like Bernadette instead of something "popular". Saint Bernadette of Lourdes is my confirmation saint.

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 :)
