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.

actually like that idea!.....not to mention that the two greatest
"wearers" of fedoras in the mid-thirties was Humphrey Bogart and James
Cagney.....so maybe Bernhardt Humphrey?....or Humphrey
Bernhardt?.....Sarah Cagney? James Humphrey? Bogart Berhnardt?
etc.....there's a million different combinations and then when you throw
in the "greats"?....Edward G. Robinson......Greta Garbo.....Lauren
Bacall.....Marilyn Monroe....etc..etc you could have a whole new genre
of names for the next 20 releases!...LoL!
