Actually, I wouldn't think it a bad thing for a release named
Bernhardt. Why? Because the very first fedora was designed to be
part of costume for Sarah Bernhardt in the play Fedora in 1882 and
started out strictly as a woman's hat. Later, of course, in the
1920s and 30s, it became popular among politicians and gangsters. I
doubt very many people would vote for it, but it'd be a neat thing to
suggest.
I can see the rants already: "Bernhardt gives me heart burn." Hell,
I'll use it myself.
