haha! The name Bridget is always interesting to me. Bridget is/was the stereotypical working/low class name in Ireland...it was THE name for Irish domestic maids/servants/the "help" so much so that for a really long time, many women would actually change their names to avoid that stereotype. I'm never sure if Irish American "never been to Ireland but my last name is Sullivan or O'Reilly!!!" crowd doesn't know this or doesn't care.

Mine are Gwendolyn and Isa.
It's too bad because when I named my DD Eleanor it was not at all a popular name. In fact, I got many people who said not to use it because it's too old lady. Oh well, I love it and always have.

My husband is Vinchenzo and we call him Enzo. Its nice because we were able to name our son Vinchenzo and call him Vinnie so they have the same name but different nick names making it the best of both worlds in the name sake category.
