Re: What do you think of...
in reply to a message by noel
Brigitte is my favorite form of Bridget. Bridget's not bad; it seems friendly and warm. I don't like most Br- names though and Bridget's really no exception. If I had to pick one of your list, it would probably be Bridget though. I couldn't name a child Bridget, personally, because DH and I are both short and I went to school with a girl named Bridget who was about as short as I was and she was called "Bridget the midget" on the regular. I think people stopped around middle school but still. I wouldn't do it if I knew my kid would be short, haha. Bedelia reminds me of Amelia Bedelia (Amelia doesn't, but it's not as unusual as Bedelia). Not sure how often these books are read now though. Bridie I always want to misread as Birdie (and I think Birdie is cuter).
