Stuck Between 2 Names

We’re trying to choose between the two names below for our first baby. I’m not interested in hearing either one criticised but just wondering which you prefer?

  1. Bridget Ivy
  2. Celine Ivy

Thanks in advance for any positive and helpful comments ☺️.

Ivy
Bridget
Celine

Ivy is lovely as a first name. I like Bridget too. Not keen on Celine.

DramaAlpaca · 19/01/2021 00:38

I like both names, but actually prefer both the other way round.

Ivy Bridget or Ivy Celine.

I think I prefer Bridget Ivy to Celine Ivy.

Is there any problem with the surname initial (does it make a word? E.g. BIG, BIT, BIN?)

Redsquirrel5 · 19/01/2021 00:45

They are both lovely names. You don’t hear them often. Maybe wait until you see her ( presuming you know baby is a girl) sometimes I think seeing their face helps you know which one fits.

I watched Bridget jones diary yesterday and actually thought how little the name is used now. It's a great name

NoSquirrels · 19/01/2021 01:26

I prefer Bridget Ivy over Celine Ivy but I can’t tell you why - it’s something to do with how the soft c sounds combined with Ivy. Because Celine in and of itself is a lovely name. Ivy Celine works better somehow.

I’d assume you were Irish - would that be right? (just nosy!)

Bridget & Ivy great names , Celine beyond awful even as a middle name , unless named after a relative.

CakeRattleandRoll · 19/01/2021 05:41

Bridget Ivy

MercyBodle · 19/01/2021 05:59

Bridget Ivy - I love this! I love both names and love them together. There is nothing wrong with Celine, but I like Bridget a lot more.

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 19/01/2021 06:03

I prefer Celine over Bridget, I'd go with Celine Bridget or ivy b or ivy C

I think Celine Ivy runs together too much

Though as someone else has said, I'd wait until she's here.

Lemonlemon88 · 19/01/2021 06:07

I prefer Bridget but I think Celine Ivy sounds a better combo.

PoppiesinOctober · 19/01/2021 06:11

Agree with pp - I prefer Bridget, but I think Ivy goes better with Celine.

Porridgeoat · 19/01/2021 06:16

Celeste is lovely.

bumblingalonghappily · 19/01/2021 06:34

Much prefer Bridget ivy!

Twizbe · 19/01/2021 06:44

I'd wait until baby is here now. She might suit one or another more.

PatsyJStone · 19/01/2021 06:50

Love both Bridget and Céline. Not keen on Ivy. Does she need a middle name? Does one sound better with the surname you will give her?

PattyPan · 19/01/2021 09:34

Bridget Ivy

DinosaurDiana · 19/01/2021 09:36

I prefer Bridie to Bridget. I believe it’s Irish if that matters ☘️

Ithinkhedidit · 19/01/2021 10:16

Celine is lovely

KirstenBlest · 19/01/2021 14:04

I much prefer Bridget.

Firebird83 · 19/01/2021 14:04

Celine

WineInTheWillows · 19/01/2021 15:46

Bridget.

Celine Ivy, sorry can't stand Bridget.
