I heard this on a baby a few years ago and our first reaction was this is the most awful name we’d ever heard. I’ve heard it a few times since then and came around a bit. I still wouldn’t name a child this.

I love this name, but I do agree that it is super childish. It is super cute on a baby, toddler, or elementary school child, but once they are a teenager, I bet they wont appreciate you naming them Birdie.
Birdice Blye-Richardson (1871 - 1935) better known as Birdie Blye, was an American pianist. At 5 year old she was "an infant prodigy" who was taught by the best teachers in the United States and Europe. At the age of 10, she gave concerts in London and other European cities. She was the only American who ever played at so early an age in orchestral concerts.
Birdie Draper (1916-2005) was a parachutist and stunt performer who made her first jump on June 6, 1937. She traveled around the country as a member of the Thrill Day Performers and became known as the "Queen of the Daredevils."
Birdie Amsterdam (1901 – 1996) was an attorney and judge in New York City, who became the first woman to serve as a justice of the New York State Supreme Court.
Birdie Alexander (1870 – 1960) was an American educator and music teacher. She was a charter member of the Music Supervisors' National Conference. Alexander is credited with laying the foundations of music education in the Dallas public schools.
I'm writing a character nicknamed Birdie and despite it being quite old fashioned and a little funny, I think it fits her, and it's a cute name. (Maybe for the 1800s, but regardless)
Really old-fashioned and childish at the same time.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm the only one who likes Birdie. It's a little corny, but I am not averse to corniness in names. I do picture a grandmother from the deep south. She makes quilts and watches her grandkids catch fireflies from her back porch and has a killer peach cobbler recipe. I also think of "Birdie" from Avril Lavigne's newest album. Yes, I like Avril Lavigne.
In the UK "bird" is a slang term for a sexually attractive girl or woman, kind of like "chick" in the US, so I find this a bit odd as a name. In the UK this would be like naming a girl Chickie.

Looks like a really rare name, probably few people have it, something like almost a century ago, but it is really sweet and not bad, no. I like this name. Sweet Birdie. Actually, really nice name! Why not.
Birdie is one of my absolute favorite names for a girl! I think it's super sweet, pure, innocent and simply melodic. Jessica Simpson named her daughter Birdie Mae, and she is just overwhelmingly adorable! I love Birdie for a name.
Call me crazy, but I actually really, really love this name. It's cute without being too over-the-top. Would definitely consider using it when I'm older.
