Love both, although I'd spell the first one as Birdy.
Bridie is especially darling. It's my favorite nn for
Bridget. I've considered it for a future cat name -- the highest honor this name nerd / cat lady can bestow.
My sister's MIL is
Bridie (
Bridget). She's from
Ireland.
Bridie feels like it could become mega-popular here in the U.S., like
Sadie and
Hattie, if people could get over the "bride" part. It's spunky and friendly. I wouldn't use it without a full name though.
Bridget, the traditional full name, is the only one that I can think of. But for Birdy I could also see
Bernadette or any bird name (
Wren,
Linnet,
Mavis,
Paloma, etc.) :0)
