Bridget Q
This is my son's name. I picked it out about 5 years before he was born. I saw it in a book, and never forgot it. Loved the sound, the meaning, the history of the name. When I mentioned it to my husband, he loved it too :) My son's full name is Nathaniel Tristan Q... His nickname is Nani (rhymes with Johnny) which he gave himself when trying to say Nathaniel as a toddler :)

Only for Nathaniels!
