About Birdie
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.
Birdie is also given to boys.
Pronounced BER-dee.
As of October 2026, Birdie ranked #670 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #152 in 1882, Nameberry popularity #522.
