I know how clever you all are here so thought i’d throw this out there.
I know [name]Bridge[/name], Didge and [name]Biddy[/name] (and others listed on the nameberry def. of bridget)
Secondly, i’m really liking [name]Biddy[/name]. Does anyone else think its cute or do you instantly picture an old person and thus wouldn’t consider it??!
[name]Do[/name] you think [name]Birdie[/name] would go? I like [name]Birdie[/name] but struggling for a ‘formal’ name for [name]Birdie[/name].
I really like the name [name]Bridget[/name]. I think [name]Birdie[/name] works perfectly. [name]Bridie[/name] is also a traditional nickname for [name]Bridget[/name], I think, and so is [name]Bedelia[/name], though I’m not sure that’s usable.
I think [name]Birdie[/name] is a very cute nn for [name]Bridget[/name]. I like it better than [name]Biddy[/name]. Another nn you could use is [name]Bea[/name]/[name]Bee[/name].
[name]Bridget[/name]:
[name]Bee[/name]
[name]Bibi[/name]
[name]Biddy[/name]
Gitty
Bidge (without an r)
Bitty
Bit
[name]Bree[/name] (I don’t like the name, though)
[name]Brittle[/name]
Bindy
Bintie
BeeGee
[name]Birdie[/name] is really cute!
I’m with your husband. [name]Biddy[/name] and [name]Birdie[/name] sound like great names for characters in a novel, they just sound too eccentric for real life to me. They are certainly fun names though, I see the temptation!
[name]Bree[/name]/[name]Brie[/name] sounds more feminine to me and sounds more like an actual name to me. Great cheese too - I wouldn’t mind the association.
What about calling her just [name]Bridget[/name]? No nickname needed.
Or, what’s her middle name? Sometimes its fun to use the middle as a nickname - a way to actually hear the middle name more often.

[name]Don[/name]'t know mn yet, just bouncing round ideas (if, indeed, baby is a girl!!) I’m a big nicknamer and my other children have nn hence the need to a nn.
This may sound odd, but growing up my friends and I called someone a “biddy” when we wanted to call them a bad name, but couldn’t curse. lol. Maybe I’m the only one though.
