Birdie?

[Babytalkx]

Is ‘birdie’ okay for a girl? I’m not too sure on the name extended e.g. birdette but I love it for a baby girl!

My mother thinks it’s a cruel name and that it could subject her to bullying?

Please help!!!!

Is anyone old enough to remember Tottie’s House from the 1980s? I’m still traumatised by what happened to Birdie…

That is a bad name.

Horrendous. Sorry. You've now got me thinking of the Birdie Song and that will now be going through my mind on a loop for hours.🙄🤣

Bridie is much better, although still not really to my taste personally. I do know a Bridie, and I'd admit that it does suit her.

DD knows a Queenie.. lovely and immensely talented girl but I’ve always felt sorry for her having that name! It always raised eyebrows with anybody new that she met

It’s pretty but definitely more of a nickname for you to use at home. A PP’s suggestion of using Wren and then Birdie as a nickname is really nice.. maybe Robyn too!

I’ve got a 60up friend called birdie. She’s got a cafe called birdies cafe :)

That is the most ridiculous, hideous girl's name I have ever heard.
You do know she will be a...human, right?

Have you watched Kin?

Awful

I think you’re being a bit harsh. Relatively speaking it’s not that bad. Far worse suggestions on here on a daily basis!

Not a fan of birdie but love bridie

Penguin?
Giraffe?
Parrot?!

Hahahhaaaaaa

Birdie sounds like a character in a Southern gothic novel. Sitting on her porch barefoot, smoking, and reminiscing about being in love with Earl.

I’d name a cat Birdie. I’m not a fan sorry.

David and Georgia Tennant have a Birdie.

I've known two - both were nicknames. One was originally a Bridget and not sure about the other. I quite like it as a nickname.

😂😂😂

I like it!

It’s not a name I would want or use. Fine as a nickname and I’ve heard it used as a nickname for Bernadette.

Awful name, except as a nickname. It sounds trivial, as though she is not to be taken seriously.

I know one, a toddler. I was a bit surprised at first as I'd never come across it before, but very quickly got used to it as any other name.

She's a doll in Rumer Godden's The Dolls' House. I loved that book and the name suited her - she was flighty and rattled when you shook her, as she had a bead in her head. Not great for a real person though.

I like it! Non mainstream names don’t get good feedback on here.

Just makes me think of golf, tbh.

I initially thought you’d done a typo and the name was meant to be Bridie.

Wren Or Lark with the nn birdie could work.
