Bridie
What do you think of Bridie or Bridget "Bridie"?And do you like Birdie more, or less? If you had to use Birdie as a NN, what would the official name be?

I mean, you could use Bridie as a nn for Bridget I suppose, but in my opinion Bridget doesn’t need a nn.I actually love Birdie! It’s so sweet and friendly. I would use Bernice and call her Birdie if I needed a longer name.

Bridget doesn't need a nn, especially one like Bridie or Birdie.

In Brideshead Revisited, there was a male character whom everyone called Bridie - short for his estate, his first name was never revealed.It's a bit uncomfortable, as it sounds like "a little bride". I guess I'd use Birdie as a nickname for Beatrice.

I'm not a fan of Bridget, because it sounds like a frog noise to me, but I'd take it any day over Bridie or Birdie.
Birdie isn't even a name to me; it's what you might call your pet parakeet if you had no imagination, or at best a nn for a small, birdlike person.Bridie sounds like a cutesy name for a bride, like hubby or wifey. Ick. And it also sounds like a sstereotypical Irish servant character.

Bridie is a very cute name I’d never considered before! I’d definitely recommend it as a NN, Bridget or Brida or Bridger (that might be a boy’s name, I’m not sure) would all be great choices :D
Personally I prefer Bridget, with NNs Brid or Bridge, but I have a very positive impression of Bridie as well
