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

Definitely Constance. DH has a cousin who is called 'Connie' and we love the name but obviously can't have it!

userabcname · 07/12/2017 18:54

I also prefer Constance

Littlelambpeep · 07/12/2017 18:55

Connie is lovely. Bridie is very very old fashioned and not in a good way.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 07/12/2017 18:55

Bridget

Constance

I really don’t like Bridget

MikeUniformMike · 07/12/2017 19:12

Constance
I like both,

Hillbillyhotel · 07/12/2017 19:15

I like them both but I think Bridget is absolutely beautiful! I love Bridie and also had a Great Aunt Bridgey.

SantaStuckInTheChimney · 07/12/2017 19:40

Definitely Constance

ChocolateCrunch · 07/12/2017 19:45

Constance, don't like Bridget at all

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 07/12/2017 21:14

❤️ Bridget.

DramaAlpaca · 07/12/2017 21:16

I adore Constance, so that would be my choice.

Bridget is OK, but I can't bear Bridie.

17caterpillars1mouse · 08/12/2017 08:21

I really like both. Can't decide

Erica891 · 08/12/2017 11:47

Bridget is unique but Constance is likewise a beautiful name. Can't make up which one. Just flip a coin i guess :)

Emelene · 08/12/2017 11:53

I prefer Constance. Smile

RestingGrinchFace · 08/12/2017 11:58

Constance. Bridget makes me think of Bridget jones.

RichmondAvenue · 08/12/2017 11:58

Not overly keen on either but Constance would be my choice.

earlgreyandgherkins · 08/12/2017 11:59

Love birdie as a nn

I liked Constance. Until my OH kept saying things like
'Constantly ...a pain in the ass'

Thiswayorthatway · 08/12/2017 12:05

Constance.

**Farrar, your DH having a cousin with this name doesn't preclude you Kai.g it!
