The most common spellings of Bridgett are either B-r-i-d-g-e-t, or B-r-i-d-g-e-t-t-e, or B-r-i-g-e-t. I have found that I am the only one that spells it with two "t's" at the end, without an e at the tip end of it. lopezkids https://padlet.com/lopezkids/i2dn13linwka/wish/119739282 2016-08-25 03:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lopezkids/i2dn13linwka/wish/119739282 A lot of people do not spell my name correctly. They usually end up spelling it B-r-i-g-i-t. I never really thought of whether I like my name or not, it is just part of who I am. lopezkids https://padlet.com/lopezkids/i2dn13linwka/wish/119739870 2016-08-25 03:28:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lopezkids/i2dn13linwka/wish/119739870 The only famous person that I know of whom has the same name as me is Brigitte Bardot. She was a famous French actress and model from the 1950's and 60's. While there is no physical resemblance between us, my parents and family members would often refer to me as "Bridgett Bardot." lopezkids https://padlet.com/lopezkids/i2dn13linwka/wish/119740226 2016-08-25 03:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lopezkids/i2dn13linwka/wish/119740226 lopezkids https://padlet.com/lopezkids/i2dn13linwka/wish/119740482 2016-08-25 03:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lopezkids/i2dn13linwka/wish/119740482 Photo citation: lopezkids https://padlet.com/lopezkids/i2dn13linwka/wish/119740840  Ultimate Style Icons: Brigitte Bardot.
