Birdie Origin and Meaning

The name Birdie is a girl's name of English, Swedish origin meaning "bird".

Birdie was until recently a middle-aged Ladies' Club member wearing a bird-decorated hat --but now it's just the kind of vintage nickname (think Hattie, Josie, Mamie, Millie) that's coming back into style in a big way. Actress Busy Philipps named her baby Birdie (inspired by First Lady Lady Bird Johnson), as did soap star Maura West.

In an earlier heyday of nickname names--the 1880's--Birdie was a Top 200 name.

I just don’t think it’s strong enough to be a stand alone name. But that’s my opinion.

We use Birdie as a nickname for our daughter Mavis. I think it is a lovely nickname for any other bird names like Ava, Wren, Lark, Starling, and Robin!

Actually when I think of the name "Birdie", the first thing I think of is older women since it's such an old fashioned name, so I think it would work on someone over 45 for sure.

I'm not sure, but I almost prefer Bridie to Birdie.

I think it's a lovely nickname for Brigitte, Roberta, Beatrix/Beatrice, or even Elizabeth but imo it's better off staying that way. Can you imagine a 45 year old woman saying 'Hello, I'm Birdie'? It would be kind of strange.
