Bridie?

[Callieviolet]

Opinions? Do you know any?

Quite like it. Love Bridget.

Love it, I have a cousin with that name and she is very charismatic. Everyone remembers her.

In Ireland you would be either aged 80+ or a member of the travelling community to be called Bridie.

Yes this is exactly what I thought

I knew one. She’s a vile human being so it’s rather put me off the name.

What if she doesn’t want to be a bride? It’s fine not to get married nowadays.
I am not keen on the name I have to say.

Bridie Birdie … tweet tweet

Please don’t do it.

Forfar bridies being the best of them all!

Definitely!

Irish granny name.

I like it, and also like Biddy. If I had had my way, one of my DDs would have been called Bridget, with Biddy as a NN.

Birdie is sweet too imo.

Yes, Gobnait is a name and it's pronounced...

...Gub-nit

I love Bridie and Bridget, splendid names.

Here in Ireland it’s unheard of for any woman under 70 to be called Bridie.

Ha ha ha ha! That's even better. Thanks!
Worst name ever I think.

Up there with Balonz and Genghis!

Bridie is a lovely name.

No. And I just see birdie

I know one in her twenties and she's absolutely lovely

I love it, also Bridh/Breege. It's a family name for me, so I think it's lovely

I know one Bridie in her thirties. She has Irish roots I believe. She’s an attractive, clever and kind hearted lady so I like the name by association.

My cousin's daughter is Bridie, she's 16. I really like the name and it isn't popular yet.

I put Bridie down on my list after DH vetoed Birdie (along with Boudicca and some other out there names, I blame the hormones) but I couldn't convince him on it either. I think it's lovely and obviously the Irish nanna/pie issues aren't universal and assuming you're not in the relevant areas, unless you plan on relocating I wouldn't worry about those comments.

Little old Irish lady, yes. And it seems quite quaint, probably because it contains the word 'bride' even though I get that there's no connection. I don't mind Bridget though.

I went to school with a Bridie, she was the most popular girl in my grade. It was not a name I’d ever heard of before but it suited her perfectly

Beautiful name
