I can't decide! Any opinions to help sway me one way or another.

Bridie / Connie as the preferred nicknames though I would try to use the longer version when possible.

Thanks

Constance

Bridget. Bridie is a cool nn.

Jedigirl29 · 08/01/2018 15:59

Constance but I would shorten it just to Connie. Plus I'm a bit biased to it cause my close friend is called Connie

IckleWicklePumperNickle · 14/12/2017 22:25

Bridget

Bojangles33 · 14/12/2017 22:08

I think they're both lovely, but prefer Connie

HildaZelda · 13/12/2017 00:43

Neither, but if you really have to Constance.

ShizzleYoDrizzle · 10/12/2017 16:51

Neither.

Don't you have a third option beginning with A or D?

RavenWings · 10/12/2017 16:31

Bridget (or Brigid) is beautiful, Constance meh.

Bridie though is just awful, and Connie is wet imo.

Go for Connie!

Constance

I have a Constance and I love it! She was nearly Dorothy which I love as well.

HelenaJustina · 08/12/2017 22:27

I wanted Bridget so much and Constance was also on our lists. I’d go B rather than C!

ImADingleDangleScarecrow · 08/12/2017 22:24

Love Constance/Connie. Not keen on Bridget and really dislike Bridie

Constance

EmmaC78 · 08/12/2017 22:06

Bridget is fine but Bridie is awful. Both Constance and Connie are nice.

Alisvolatpropiis · 08/12/2017 22:02

Constance/Connie.

I really strongly dislike Bridget/Bridie.

I suppose it comes down to. Do you prefer Bridie or Connie, because odds are that's what she'll be called

LilacBearberry · 08/12/2017 20:31

I prefer Bridget to Constance, but Connie to Bridie!

Thanks for the views, I am still very undecided!

But helpful to hear what others think. Tonight I think I prefer Constance but I've loved Bridget for years as a name and regret it wasn't dd1 name.

... I like Bridie though

NotAgainYoda · 08/12/2017 18:02

Constance/ Connie

My grandmother's name. I would have used it if I could

I think Bridget sounds a bit harsh

starkid · 08/12/2017 15:01

Bridget!

Santasbigredbobblehat · 08/12/2017 12:45

Constance. Dd1 has a middle name and I wish I’d kept it for dD2...

Helena17 · 08/12/2017 12:34

Bridget! It's a lovely name :)
