DEDICATED TO THE BERNARDs OF THIS WORLD
 
My folks played a joke on me 'long time ago by naming me either after Saint Bernard, Abbott & Scholar, or Saint Bernard, the dog. However, they pronounced it Burn-urrd, not Burr-narrrd (as in Yard). I tell people my name is Bern-urd, and they tell me I'm mispronouncing it.
 
That's why I've gone by "Sam" all my life.
George Bernard Shaw had the same problem; he pronounced it Bern-urrd.
 
It's BERN-urrd, darnit! Not burr-NARRRRD!
(and no way is it ever Bernie!)
