Anyone know what Buddie is short for?

[oysterpots]

Um, that's it really. Is it a nickname or a shortened version of something? I've heard of Biddie as short for Bridget but not Buddie... am I being a div?

Well, the 'Bud/Buddie' who was the murderer in 'A Kiss Before Dying' was actually named Burton...

Bradley isn't it?

Budweiser?

It's a girl. Rosebud maybe??

Bud/buddy - i think it isn't short for anything, I think it's probably it's own name, iyswim. It is an american name, isn't it?

I did a quick google and it said old english name that means messenger.

Pesto my thought exactly

oh hang on, another site says it's german and means herald, puff up, friend.

I know a Buddy and it's short for Rosemary ie Rosebud.. buddy

My ds is called Buddy, that's his name.

Budford.

Buddlea
(actually I don't think that's how its spelt but I meant the plant) - is there an 'h' in it somewhere?

I don't think it's short for anything, actually, except maybe Bud. Which would make it long, not short IYSWIM.

Budleigh Salterton.

Doesn't it just mean 'friend' or 'mate'? It's easy to see how it would end up being used as a nickname.

Just don't. Please. Just don't.

In the US I believe Buddy is often the youngest child in the family. Think it may be a chummy alternative to referring to renamed child as "Junior".

I think!

My chocolate lab is called Buddy.
Sorry no help really,just considered it a name in its own right.

My dh's dog was called Buddy too.

Budgie?
