[Opinions] Bridget
This was the name of the girl who made my iced mocha this morning. WDYT of Bridget? On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate it? How do you picture someone named Bridget, and what is the best MN you can pair with it? Thanks a bunch. :)

It's one of the few female B names that I really like. Beatrice, Beatrix, Beatriz, Bronwyn, Bronwen, Bridget, Brigitta, and Brigida are the only ones that I like a lot. Beth I like as a nn and I kind of like Bernadette. Bridget sounds intelligent and friendly, strong yet feminine.

I know a blonde-haired, blued eyed 8-year-old named Bridget Elizabeth. She's very cute, and her parents are American of Irish descent.

I like Bridget a lot. I know a few my age and older... I met a 2 year old Bridget recently and though she was an adorable child, it just seemed weird on her. It seemed way too severe, serious and grown-up for a child. I know kids don't stay little forever, but maybe Bridget with an occasional nn for when she's younger? I don't know, Biddy or Bridie or something. I knew one who went by Bree as a kid.

It is one of my all time favorites, even though it hasn't been in my Top 10 or whatever for quite awhile. I'd definitely throw it into the mix if I were deciding on a name for a real daughter. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 9 or 10 depending on my mood that day. I think it is strong, spunky, has some cute nn options, it isn't too popular but is recognizable and it has a great history- it really checks every box I have for names.My go-to combo is Bridget Maeve Honora :)

I like it. It's probably an 8.I picture a quiet girl with wavy blonde hair, brown eyes, and cute freckles. She's sweet, and likes to keep to herself, so not that many people really pay attention to her. Although I can also picture a bold and crazy and fun girl with the name Bridget.

I like Bridget. I don't recall ever actually meeting anyone named Bridget, but I imagine that a Bridget would be daring yet pleasant in demeanor. My best FN/MN combinations (not sure which I like best):
Bridget Alexandrine
Bridget Alexandra
Bridget Cassandra - Bridget and Cassandra have a similar feel in my mind.
Bridget Moira
Bridget LeonaOut of those, I think that Bridget Leona is my probably my favorite, but it's basically tied with Bridget Cassandra.

I really like it. It's an Anglo-Irish classic, like Patricia or Maureen or even Caitlin. I'd give it an 8.5.Picturing someone young, either early twenties or elementary aged. Smart, and funny, but sensitive. Athletic. Probably reddish-blond, but I can see a brunette too. Bridget is both contemporary and classic to me. It's about the only sister name I like with Caitlin, which is sort of a GP for me. Like, Bridget works with Caitlin, and Makynzie works with Katelyn. I think Bridget June works very well (but I'm also leaning towards Bridget Genevieve).

Bridget, certainly a 7. I like it, though if I had a daughter so named,I'd probably always be calling her Biddy or Bridgie. Visualizing someone names Bridget? Can't do it! I'm not good at that..I do know a woman, formerly from East Germany when that existed (she went over the wall) named Bridgette, accent on the "tte". So that's who I see. Big tall rangey woman, lots of silver and turquoise jewellery.
