is it "Bear-doh" or "Beer-doh"?

[xSuperMario64x]

I've been wondering this for forever and the wiki doesn't seem to help much in solving this issue. so how do you guys pronounce Beardo's name?

honestly ever since I started NL I've always said "beer-doh" but I'm starting to think that's not the correct pronunciation lol

I've always pronounced it "beerd-oh" like the word beard with an 'o' at the end, which is close enough to "beer-doh". I know he's a bear, but "bear-doh" doesn't sound right to me.

I’m on the same boat as you - I always pronounced it as beer-doh LOL. But Beardo doesn’t have a beard, so now I’m thinking maybe it was bear-doh all along.

I cast my vote for "beer do" because I thought the name was a reference to him having facial hair (a very nice moustache). I can see the argument for "bear do" though, since he also happens to be a bear.

Um I always pronounce it "Beer-doh" but now that I see this I'm starting to wonder if I pronounce a lot of villagers names wrong.
I thought it was "Beer-doh" because he is a bear with a beard so like beard and bear smashed together?

I've come prepared for head explosions lol

I always thought it was Beard-oh.
You know because of his moustache that I pretend it’s a beard.

I vote beer-do, or beard-oh! Maybe by nintendo standards his moustache is also a beard???

In French his name is Eustache, but in Korean it's Bear'd (bear + beard) (according to the animal crossing wiki)

The first time I saw him and his name, my mind's first instinct was to read it with the "beer-doh"/"beard-oh" pronunciation. The moustache/facial hair has me leaning in that direction, but honestly one day some time ago I thought about it and realized that it could possibly be pronounced another way, but rather than "bear-doh", I figured it could be "bear-do", like hairdo (which is ironic considering his balding).

However it's pronounced, I like him! Had him as a resident in New Leaf in the past.

i met him when he moved into my first file in new leaf a long time ago and ever since i’ve called him “bear-doh”

 

[kiwikenobi]

I've honestly said it both ways depending on my mood. They both make sense. I think it's both. XD

 

[Croconaw]

I pronounce it Beer-doh. It’s a reference to his facial hair.

 

[moo_nieu]

i read it as "beard o" since he has facial hair

 

[Violet Witch]

I'd say it's "Beard-o" (it rhyme's with weirdo) considering he's a bear with a rather prominent beard.

 

[xSuperMario64x]

I'm glad to see a consensus here, I wasn't sure how divided the community was on this issue.

 

[Nunnafinga]

Beardo is a weirdo.So,yeah....Beer-doh.Plus,anything with the word "beer" in it is OK with me.

 

[AccfSally]

Beardo the weirdo, is a nickname that I gave him.
Because it rhymes with his name.

 

[~Kilza~]

I feel like it's supposed to be "bear-doh", but usually I say "beer-doh" because it's the easier/lazier pronunciation imo.

 

[DaisyFan]

I always pronounce his name “Beer-doh”.

 

[nightglow]

I've been pronouncing it as beard-o
