365 Day Meme: Day 240: Your Name
Sep. 19th, 2011 03:14 pm240: what does your name mean according to urban dictionary? were you named after anyone in your family, or does your name mean something special to your parents?
Urban Dictionary for "Bridgett": Bridgett 52 up, 26 down
a VERY beautiful girl yet very clumsy at the same time. Has had her heart broken many times. Mostly ends up being a pothead. NOT THE PERSON TO MESS WIT!
LIDIA:DUDE! STOP LOOKIN AT URSELF THROUGH THE MIRROR!
JANICE: I CAN'T IM SOO IRRESTIABLE!!
LIDIA: uH OH I THINK UR STARTING TO GET THE BRIDGETT SYMPTOMS
JANICE:NON SENSE!

The weird thing is that it's partially true... I'm clumsy, have had my heart broken many times, and I look at myself in the mirror too much (but more due to body dysmorphia than vanity).
****
I was not named after anyone. Supposedly someone told my father "Bridgett Kathleen" would be a good Irish name if he ever had a daughter (supposedly this incident even took place in a bar). To me the name is meaningful because of the goddess Brigid and all the mythology surrounding her (such as virgins keeping her fire lit) and the saints named Brigid/Bridget from Ireland and Sweden (I am Irish on my father's side and Swedish on my mother's maternal side -- I am Danish on her paternal side, which is where I get my small frame and brown eyes from). I do love learning about the saints, as well as goddesses. Also there is no special meaning behind the spelling of my first name -- my father was simply dyslexic.
