HelpRe: Birdie
in reply to a message by gail
Well, we are famous (in our minds). Haha.
I admit, I have grown to prefer simpler names in recent times, though now and then I dream a grand combo of Rupert Leopold Augustus. Not sure if our kid will be popular or cool, but the genes are stacked against her that she'll be an eccentric nerd with obscure tastes. I could see using a more stately name as a middle name, but in my mind, it would take away the simple charm of Birdie. I'm wondering if it's made for stately and regal names. Now, if I went with Berenice nn Bridie, perhaps the stately middle would be an option. I'd totally be up for that.

I, too, love simple names. But there's simple & elegant vs. simple & corny, admittedly sometimes a thin line. My mother-in-law wanted simple corny names for her kids and named them Betsy, Dick & Sally. None of them have appreciated this. Sally probably has weathered the choice the best. Not that they'd like something super complicated, just something that doesn't sound so juvenile now that they've all grown up.

Forgot to say that I love the name Roisin. If you persist in the Birdie combos, this name lends sophistication and gets away from the corny quality because of the ethnicity.
