I'll admit I could not see any charm in this name at all for a very long time. It seemed so cold and nasal. The strengths it did have - its intelligence and conviction- I saw as negative. But then I saw a video of an adorable calico cat called "Sweet
Bernice" and it totally changed the feeling of the name for me. It became quirky and warm. So then I named a plant
Bernice - I think it suits her.
