[Opinions] Bridget or Scarlett?
Which of these two do you like and why?

I like them both but I prefer Scarlett. I kind of like the nickname Scarly.
Scarlett.
I love Bridget but I've never thought of it as a 'pretty' name nor have I ever heard anyone say it was 'pretty' or 'beautiful.' I think it is a strong name and I've heard other people call it 'spunky' or 'sporty'.
I don't understand how a name's reputation as a pretty name makes you think it's pretty even though otherwise you would think it's ugly as sin.
I just think Bridget is ugly as sin, period.

Me either, really. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't.
Bridget, definitely. It avoids the association with "scar" and the awful Scarlett O'Hara (I can't stand her).
I think both names have spunk and strength. Both can be "fiery" but Bridget's warmth comes from deep within in her character where, for me, Scarlett wears her temperament "on her sleeve". Bridget also carries an elegance I don't feel from Scarlett. While I like both names, I prefer Bridget hands down.
Hah, the title of this post sounds like you're asking what to do with something. "Should I bridge it or scarl it?"
Anyway...
I like Bridget. I think it's very versatile, it's strong and practical but has a pretty side, and has cool mythological connections without being an obvious 'mythological name'. It can be very tomboyish or normal or nerdy or pretty much anything, but I think of it as the name of a strong, outdoorsy sort of person with a bit of appreciation for fantasy.
Scarlett is a lot more stunning and dramatic, but less versatile. I prefer Scarlet because Scarlett seems more frilly and Scarlet, while still dramatic, is a little more unassuming than Scarlett. Either way, it's a very red, dramatic, passionate sort of name- the kind of name that would be found on a diva, movie star, actress, etc. I think of this name as fairly 'mature' (it's a sexy sort of name, so I don't automatically picture it on a kid). I think I'd still like to meet a Scarlett (or Scarlet) but it wouldn't fit nearly as many people or personality types as Bridget.
Also, the more I stare at the word "Scarlett" the more awkward S and c look next to each other..
