Help[Opinions] Re: Bridget
in reply to a message by Perrine
I was thinking of it semi-recently, actually...

In my school, Bridget was the girl who carved smiley faces into her leg with a safety pin during gym class. She was taller than average, had lily white skin, dark brown hair, blue eyes; she cut her own hair, and didn't do a great job of it. She was nice but had a tendency to blurt random things and smile vacantly.
I also think of Bridget Jones' Diary and the words: britches, bridge, midget.
It comes across as sweet to me, but not really in a positive way, more in an immature, goofy, repressed, passive aggressive type way.
BUT, I think it has a cool meaning/history/origin, and the sound has grown on me, possibly because I've heard Bridger being used recently, plus I like -et/ette endings in general. And I like a lot of the variants (Birgit, Birgitta, Brigitta, Bridie, Bedelia).
