Tiffany / Bridget

[LMR93]

Still TTC but we really love the names Bridget and Tiffany for a girl. What are your opinions on these names? We don't know if they are too dated? Do any of you have kids with older fashioned names? Thanks

Not a fan of Tiffany, just isn't to my taste.
Love Bridget.
My DD's have "older" names.

Tiffany sounds very "big hair", "daddy's credit card".

Bridget sounds "pudding bowl haircut" and sensible shoes.

Very different connotations but neither of them great, to me.

What else is on your list?

Wow, those are two very different names, completely at opposite ends of the spectrum for me. That seems very surprising to me that someone would love both.

I really dislike Tiffanny, particularly with the renewed Trump angle. I think it is very dated. I would imagine virtually all Tiffannys were born in or very near the 1980s.

I quite like Bridget spelled Brigid, not so much spelled the way you have chosen. It is definitely old-fashioned rather than dated I think, and I could easily see it regaining a certain popularity. I would expect most Brigids I would meet to have an Irish family connection somewhere.

I quite like Bridget but you sometimes you need to meet (well see) your baby to see if a name will suit them - if that makes sense.

OP are you in the States? The country might make a difference.

Hey thank you all so far!
And no, we are in the UK

Agree with Battleax - sorry!

I like Tiffany and Bridget is actually on my ever-growing names list. I've been told various times though that I like very dated/80's names though. I don't care though, I still like them

Bridget by miles. It’s old-fashioned in a nice way. Tiffany is (imo) horrible and old-fashioned in a not nice way.

Very different names. I don't see Bridget with a pudding bowl haircut at all. I think it's a beautiful classic name, possibly with an Irish or at least old family Catholic connection.
Tiffany is the name of a jeweller and a character from EastEnders and an 80's pop star. Sort of the 80s equivalent of naming your child Chardonnay in the noughties.

Bridget of York was a daughter of Edward IV and was possibly named after St Bridget of Sweden.

I think both are awful, sorry.

Bridget reminds me of Bridget Jones. It sounds a bit stodgy and sensible. Tiffany is one of those chav names that people take the mick out of. Not a fan of either, sorry.

Tiffany is fluffy and awful.

Bridget is clunky and awful.

I pretty much agree with Battleax. Sorry!

If I had to pick one, though - Bridget by a mile!!

Bridget is ok. Can imagine it coming back. Tiffany is really really horrible. I've attached a picture of the kind of image that Tiffany brings to my mind.

Bridget makes me think of Brigitte Bardot and Tiffany makes me think of Martine McCutcheon (sp?) in EastEnders. Both I think could easily be revived, but my personal preference would be Brigitte (with the French spelling).

Not keen on Tiffany at all, but I do like Brigit. I also love Brid (pronounced Breege with a soft g) and would have considered it for one of our DD's if it hadn't already been in use in the family.

❤️ Bridget 😄

Not a fan of either although Bridget is definitely the better of the two. What about Bryony?

Bridget is lovely

Tiffany is 1980's dreadful

My dd is Tiffany!! Never ever Tiff. And def not chavvy either!! She loves her name, is very popular, on the G&T register and isn't any of the above negative attributes!

I agree that Tiffany is very 80s/ American pop star. Bridget is nice, I prefer Brigid though. I also like the Brigitte and Bryony suggestions - Brid is a very middle aged Irish name to me, like calling a child Pamela. Nothing wrong with it but it sounds off.

I like Brigid, Bríghid more so than Bridget. Tiffany is tacky as can be imo. Sorry PP. I do know a lovely Australian girl who goes by Tiff, which I like better.

I dislike Tiffyany.

Bridget is a bit ‘pudding bowl haircuts and sensible shoes’ imo.

I really Brigid and Birgit.
