Bridie?

[Callieviolet]

Opinions? Do you know any?

I love it. I knew one in my 20s. Strongly considered it for DD but didn’t in the end, only because I don’t like Bridget.

Love it

Only know working class Glaswegian women in their 60s and 70s called Bridie.

My Irish great aunt was bridie..I like it

My friend is bridie (she must be early 20s) and she is so lovely I only associate good things with the name 🙂

No - it’s a meat pie!

Oh god no, awful name

Terrible.

No it’s a type of pie where I live

I have a Bridget. We're in England. I wanted Bridie as a NN but Bridge stuck with the nursery staff.
So now she's Bridget, Bridge or Boo depending who is addressing her.

Used to be a common girl's name in Ireland, short for Bridget. Most of them would be 90+ now though.

Bridghe. Strong!

I love it!

I know one, she's early 30s & not a nice person so that would put me off, however her aside, it's a lovely name.

It's what we jokingly call "The Bride" in the run up to weddings in Dublin anyway.

Bit old fashioned and reminds me of Auntie Bridie in her crossover apron. But each to their own. Brid Breda or Breege are nicer versions these days I think.

Yes - I knew a Bridie at high school in the 70's - a really sweet natured girl. So - I love the name but haven't heard it used since.

I know a Bridie, she’s in her 20s and lovely.

I think Bridget is awful though. So harsh and drab.

I have a Bridie. She loves her name.

Love it

Bridie makes me think of an old lady.

I love Bridie. I know a young one, probably about ten years old. I prefer it with Bridget as a full name, but it’s fine on its own too.

My lovely friend is called Bridie she is 45

Awful, I'm Irish and the only Bridies I know are in their 80's, Bridget is not any better

To me it’s a frail old lady name. But this probably means it’s due a revival so could be fine.

I know one, mid 20s and delightful. She's not a Bridget, not Irish nor Glaswegian. I like it, but would go with Bridget to give choice.
