This was a topic of discussion on Broadwayworld.com and I thought I would bring it here to get everyone's ideas.
We all know that Bernadette doesn't like the nickname "Bernie"... i agree with her. So what should her nickname be, or her DIVA name be?
Like, as listed on Broadway World:
Bette Midler: The Divine Miss M
Barbra Streisand: Babs
and so on...
what do you all think?

I would , of course, never address her that way, or even use it on this board, but, to be perfectly honest, I, my friends and my family, all call her Bernie in casual conversation all the time. It's meant affectionately, and, in my opinion, is completely harmless. Sorry to those who can't stand it or consider it offensive. It's just a decades long habit.

I have an amazing idea. I think we should call her...Bernadette.

Yes, I think that works very well. Unless we want to get into "Na" or "Dette" which are probably too obscure and off-the-wall for consideration. I mean really, if there were a good nickname, it would most likely have been invented by now, don't you think?

that's definitely true. not to mention that Bernadette is a lovely name. She deserves to be mentioned and credited by her true self.

Most people who have any interest in theatre or Broadway refer to her by her first name only. Doesn't that kind of qualify as a "diva" status title?

i have a blown up framed pic of myself w/bernadette outside of gypsy and i kept it in the living room of my apartment last year. when ppl came in and saw it, i would jokingly refer to bernadette as my mom. now its kind of stuck and everyone calls her that when theyre talking to me which i like and consider an amazing compliment. not that my mom would be a good diva name for her but it is a sort of nickname in my circle

I refer to her as BP, but only as a joke you understand. Like I have my BP shevles filled with only Bernadette videos, cds and dvds.
they say bernadette's wonderful..........and she is
