The Bump community member Keri Marie shared, “I may be the only one but I love Bernadine.” We can confidently say they’re not the only one! This feminine moniker is a British form of the German Bernhard, meaning “bear strength” or “bold as a bear.” Your little one may be first introduced to bears in the form of their first teddy bear. Fitting, since they’ll start as an adorable being. With this name encouraging them, baby Bernadine will be sure to progress to a beacon of strength and boldness in the future.
