I've never actually met or heard of an English Berenice, so until recently I always assumed it was more or less the same as the French pronunciation, which is beh-reh-NEES. I wouldn't have guessed ber-ə-NIE-see either, it's really non-intuitive in English.

I don't really see the point in using it as a kre8iv spelling of Bernice, though. Just use Bernice! - nothing wrong with it.
