The nickname Idgie...
Ever since I've seen the movie Fried Green Tomatoes, I've loved the name Idgie. However, I've also been wondering if Idgie's a shortened version of another name. If so, I'd really like to know what.
In your opinion, what would the full name of a girl with the nickname Idgie be?

I think Idgie Threadgoode's name was Imogen or Imogene. I've always thought Idgie was a really fun nickname.
I would go with Bridget as well and maybe Ingrid or Elizabeth but both are a stretch.
I am thinking that the full name of the character in the movie was Imogen or Imogene. I don't know exactly how you get Idgie from that, but I'm pretty sure that was her full name. I think you could also use it as a nickname for Isabelle or Isabella. Maybe also Bridget, since both Bridget and Idgie have the same IDGE sound?
