HelpRe: Brigida
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
Hi!
In recent years (since 1999) Brigida (BREE-jee-dah) decreased in popularity (it has never been trendy or popular in the past). The highest peak of popularity nowadays was in 1999 (highest rank, 384°) and in 2006 (highest usage, 46 new Brigida).
It is valued rare but not so pleasant because Brigida rhymes with "rigida" that means "stiff, firm" but also "strick, severe". Plus rigido / rigida are used also about weather meaning "freezing, very cold". Poor Brigida, many wordplays.
Brigida was typical of Napoli (Naples) and Sicilia (Sicily) while in Toscana (Tuscany) there is a kind of sweet called "brigidini (plural)" made of sugar, flour, eggs and anise extract.
Anyway, Brigida has a "sister": Brigitta (bree-JEET-tah). Both are rare (Brigida was used for 10 babies in 2022 while Brigitta for 7 ones) but between them Brigitta is more fascinating and with a vintage charm imo.
All your combos are great, though.
Brigida Alma
Brigida Eloisa
Brigida Alice (ah-LEE-cheh)
Brigida Beatrice (beh-ah-TREE-cheh)
These ones would work in Italy as well.
Brigida Alma is my favourite. Alma has fastly grown in popularity and is currently quite cool! It can help Brigida for sure.
Hope to be helpful.
