I know I have posted on Enid already today, but dh has said that this is now top of his list.
I think I rather like it.
What are opinions on Bridget?

Brigid is another variation, but I prefer Bridget

FanjolinaJolie · 04/09/2010 18:43

I quite like it, are there other ways to spell it?

I have always liked it, it is so pretty and unusual

It sounds a bit harsh, sorry.

Love it, was my Grandmothers name and my sisters middle name but her friends call ehr this.

I love it, and wish I had used it, as it was on my list for one of the DDs.

I think Enid is a truly awful name.

I really like it, and would much rather be called Bridget than Enid. Bridget's one of those rare names that could be any age, and which everyone knows without it being really popular. Enid is a bit more of a statement name, a bit too old lady for my liking.

It makes me think of Bridget Jones a bit, but then Enid makes me think of Enid Blyton, and anyway I'm sure if I knew someone of either name I wouldn't be thinking about their namesakes all the time.

Like it, good name. DD2's middle name.

deemented · 04/09/2010 17:29

I grew up with a girl called Bridget - lovely name - but all the lads in school called her Fridgid Bridget. Sorry.

I think it's a bit of hard/harsh name imho & it always makes me think of Bridget the Midget from Grange Hill, but then that's me showing my age! Grin

Love Bridget but then it is one of my names!

theagedparent · 04/09/2010 17:21

Love it, I quite like Enid too
