Is this not the name of a character in Great Expections by Charles Dickens?

good nickname. Not so much a given name though.

Not a good idea. To be honest I don't like any of the nns for Bridget, but Biddy has too many negative conotations - old Biddy, iddy-biddy. And it sounds like someone saying Betty with a cold!

Biddy doesn't seem like a name.

No.

---

It sounds like "Bitty," which would be a terribly childish and condescending thing to be called all your life. Not to mention the "old biddy" connotations.

---

It's a cute nickname, but frankly I think it would sound ridiculous on an adult.

I don't like it. I sounds like "bitty" as in "itty bitty". I wouldn't mind it as a nn, but I think it sounds far too nicknamey to be a formal name. Besides, I think it would really only work for a petite girl (because of the bitty connection), so it could potentially be hazardously ironic if the bearer turned out to be larger.

not a good idea

A biddy is either a baby chicken or a mean-tempered grouchy old lady. Kind of a euphemism/synonym for bitch.
Also there's the bidet association to consider.

---

For those reasons I would never think it was a good name, not even a nn.

Its a nickname to me or a slang term

It sounds like a nickname, and reminds me of itty-bitty... I don't like it at all for a given name. I don't like it much better as a nickname, either, sorry.

---

This screams nn to me.
