HelpRe: Birdie
in reply to a message by AppalachianPie
I think Birdie is a name someone would have to be really popular and effortlessly cool to pull off and I'm not sure how you'd arrange for that ahead of time. yes, maybe could grow into....Meanwhile, mn should offer some statelier options in case this person should want to be a comptroller, or undertaker, or engineer. Birdie to me suggests very creative or agricultural occupations at best, options such as Birdie May and Birdie Jane sound like too little to live up to.
Ignore all this if you and/or your partner are already famous--might not matter then.

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.
