[Opinions] Re: Bridget
in reply to a message by Perrine
My sister had a friend named Bridget back when we were teenagers. That Bridget would be in her fifties now. She's the only Bridget I've ever known.
My paternal grandmother was the daughter of Irish immigrants, and she was born in 1900. Her parents had wanted to name her Bridget, but were bullied into giving up the idea and naming her Agnes instead.
Even though my grandmother missed out on the name, I still imagine a Bridget as being like her. Tall, big blue eyes, dark hair, strong nose and chin, outspoken, and very Catholic.
I like Bridget. It's kind of ugly, but in a really charming way. I don't think it's dated, not in the US at least, because it's never been very popular here. I'd love to see a little Bridget.
