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

I have a Bridget! It's not very popular at all any more (she's only 4)
I know a few Constance's tho it's popular where I live and they are all called Connie for short

Definitely Bridget!Smile

Helena17 · 08/12/2017 12:34

Bridget! It's a lovely name :)

Santasbigredbobblehat · 08/12/2017 12:45

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

Bridget!

Constance/ Connie

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

I think Bridget sounds a bit harsh

NotAgainYoda · 08/12/2017 18:02

... I like Bridie though

AnaChocolatte · 08/12/2017 20:17

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 prefer Bridget to Constance, but Connie to Bridie!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 08/12/2017 20:34

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

Constance/Connie.

I really strongly dislike Bridget/Bridie.

EmmaC78 · 08/12/2017 22:06

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

Constance

ImADingleDangleScarecrow · 08/12/2017 22:24

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

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!

Gorja · 08/12/2017 22:27

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

Sophronia · 08/12/2017 22:28

Constance

TurquoiseDress · 10/12/2017 16:29

Go for Connie!

RavenWings · 10/12/2017 16:31

Bridget (or Brigid) is beautiful, Constance meh.

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

ShizzleYoDrizzle · 10/12/2017 16:51

Neither.

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

HildaZelda · 13/12/2017 00:43

Neither, but if you really have to Constance.

Bojangles33 · 14/12/2017 22:08

I think they're both lovely, but prefer Connie
