HelpRe: Bridget or Scarlett?
in reply to a message by Lumiereslove
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..
