What do you think of this name?

Wondering what you all thought of the name Bridger for our boy.  My DH likes this but I'm not sure how I feel, I don't love it but don't dislike it either.  Our last name is a very common last name not Smith but common like that so we would like something unique but not odd.

It sounds too much like the girls' name Bridget.

Think about your son in 30 years.  Do you HONESTLY think that Bridger is going to go over well in a work setting?  Not only is it made up (heck, even Bridge would be better than BridGER), but it really is not easy to say.

I agree with this.  In my mind, I automatically was thinking Bridget.

Im sorry, but I really dont like it.  It sounds totally made up.

If you want to hear somebody saying the name multiple times, check out "Baby uses iPad perfectly" on Youtube. There is a little boy named Bridger using the iPad. ?I think it's a neat name but it does come out sounding awkward. ?But if you like it, go for it! ?(The baby in the video is super cute tho and the name fits him!)

Holy tickers.

 Sorry, it's NMS. It's the name of the Wake Forest Field House. Go Deacs.

It's odd.

Don't like it at all. As PPs said, it's close to Bridget, but it really just sounds like a fake name.

This is where I always go when I see weird names.

Sounds like a nick name. I knew someome with the last name bridge and that is what people called him

This.

At first glance, I thought it WAS Bridget.

Sorry, not a fan.  What about Brock?

The husband of a girl I work with is named Bridger.  Her name is Kyndra, her DS is Brant and her DD is Davin.  So, they all have "different" names.  Bridger definatly suites him though.  If you guys love it, go for it!

I agree.  It may be a unique sort of nickname if it was earned in some weird way, but I don't see this as a real name...and certainly not a name that will age/mature with him.  Honestly, when I read it at first I must have been reading too quickly and actually thought that Badger was being suggested.  Not much better, LOL.

I love love LOVE the name Bridger!  We would have used it in a heartbeat if this baby had been a boy..and if DD1 had been a boy, too!  It's different, and I think it can carry into adulthood as well!

Oh, no. Not good at all.

I saw Badger first too.  I agree that it's just sounds made up, although a few of the other posters have known people with that name, I would never use it.

Not a fan.  Sorry Charlie.

Go with what you want. I have heard the name Bridger multiple times in my hometown and it sounds fine.

My first thought was if he's chunky kids will call him BIGGER

Okay, I know this isn't your intention but the name reminds of the Indian name Brijesh. I once knew a Brijesh (nn "Brij" pronounced "Bridge"). It really suited him, and I really liked it. That said, not sure I can get on board with Bridger. What about another "Br" name? Brody?

GermanGirl2007

I really dislike Bridger.

Maybe Archer or Brighton would be your style? I like those much more than Bridger.

I like the name Bridger.  We almost named DS that, after the Bridger Mountains near Bozeman, Montana.  We figured most people wouldn't make the connection to the mountains though so we chose not to use the name.

tusshie2004

Real close to Bridget.

I don't like it.

Sorry...
