I once knew a little girl named [name]Bridget[/name] who was called [name]Bridey[/name] and sometimes it was shortened even more to [name]Bride[/name], but said like '[name]Bright[/name]"…
Could just plain [name]Bright[/name] work as a name?
I’ve actually wondered this myself, having a old friend whose maiden name was [name]Bright[/name] who just had her first baby. I’d sort of hoped they’d work [name]Bright[/name] into the name, because it has such lovely connotation and meaning. That being said, I think it might be a bit odd as a first name, but I’d love it in the middle.
I love [name]Brighton[/name] as a name with nn [name]Bright[/name], although I would use for a boy before a girl.
It certainly could esp with the abundance of word names being favored. Liken it to the Sunnys of the 60s or the Joys of the 70s. I think that’s how her name would be viewed. Were it a maiden name in my family, I’d use it in the mn position in a heartbeat. I also like it in the mn position on a girl anyway. Sort of new and catchy. It could definitely be used as a fn right now, though I don’t know that I particularly favor it. It’d be neat to see it on someone else’s child.
I only like [name]Bright[/name] as a nn for [name]Bridget[/name] or as mn, but I really like it when used in these ways!
I absolutely love [name]Bright[/name] as a given name, or a nickname, or a name meaning - it’s just awesome.
Oh! There was a show called Everwood a few years back and one of the supporting characters was named [name]Bright[/name] [name]Abbott[/name].
