Your first name of Bernard gives you a responsible, self-sufficient, and dependable nature. You are very self-sufficient and capable, and have naturally gravitated to positions of leadership and responsibility; you can capably direct the efforts of others, as you have good business judgment and the natural understanding of people. You retain your poise and equanimity under stress and use logic and reason in handling difficult situations. This name gives you many good qualities, but it is too strong, creating a materialistic nature and bringing out a forceful, demanding quality. In a marriage or family, you are often required to make the major decisions. If you have been given the opportunity, you could do well in business developing your leadership, administrative, and managing abilities. It gives you a strong sense of responsibility in business and material affairs, and the practicality and determination to make a success of anything you undertake, provided your combined names allow. The heavy responsibility your name brings can result in a worrying, intense nature. This name makes you too forceful at times, limiting the natural feminine qualities of tenderness and tact. It spoils the development and expression of your warmer, more feminine attributes.
