Rocket and Birdie

[rorylareina.livejournal.com]

I like Rocket (for a boy) and Birdie (for a girl), but I am not a fan of nouns as given names. What more typical names could be used, with Rocket and Birdie as the resulting nicknames? Any opinions on Rocket and Birdie in general?

Bridget or Birgitta could be Birdie
Robert could be Rocket

In some crazy way, I like Rocket too, because at least if your kid hated his name he could be called "Rocky" or something.

I kinda like the name Birdie too. I heard it on a Lifetime movie recently and I liked the sound of it. I doubt I'll ever use it but whatever...

Bridie is a girls' name... although I don't like it because it sounds too much like bride

Birdie... maybe Belinda.. I know Bindi is common for Belinda so why not birdie... bindi birdie
or Bertha lol.. Bernadette...

Rocket i'm not so sure.. Richard maybe

Anyway I am pleased that you are considering them as nicknames and not given names because they do sound cool but they aren't serious enough for humans. They'd make great pet names... lol a cat called Birdie might be strange though... although my uncle once had a cat called Dog

Dunno how useful it is, but former first lady Claudia Alta Taylor Johnson was nicknamed "Lady Bird." Dunno why. Wiki just says she's been called that since infancy. So perhaps Birdie could be a nickname for Claudia.

abigail? beatrice/beatrix? bridgette? i could see any of those being turned into birdie.
or use a name that means bird? ava? zipporah? avis? aya? lark?

and i liked the suggestions of roger and richard for rocket.
