Bernie

Bernie is a gender-neutral name of German origin. This adorable name means "strong, brave bear," and will give baby an animal to feel a kinship with from day one. For boys, the name is a variant of Bernard, whereas girls can thank Bernadine for this cute alternative. Possibly the most well-known Bernie out there is American politician, Bernie Sanders, but baby can also look up to Elton John’s lifelong friend and lyricist, Bernie Taupin, among many others. A name and nickname all in one, why not go for this bear-y good choice?
