[Facts] Aye but think about the mother!
Why complicate the name by such extra t or tte?
It will also make the name harder to yell :)BRIDGETTE! FOOD IS ON THE TABLE!

For some reason, I like unusual names and spellings. My middle name is Jeanne, and pronounced Jean, not Jean-nie. But it's also only spelled that way because it belonged to a great aunt or something, not just to spell it differently.

Selwyn, you did not offend me at all! :) I was just expressing my opinion. Thank you for your concern, though.

SelwynAre you familiar with Ms. Bardot? I'm not sure if third generation Fonda spells her name similarly, but the French actress spells it with a double-T E (if I remember correctly). You might be able to find some of her films on video if you're interested.Phyllis

Hmm...I must admit I have never herd of ms. Bardot, but I will try to look for some of the films she plays a role in next time I go to look for something nice to look at.
What kind of film did she play in?

Brigitte Bardot, know also as BeBe, was the epitome of the blonde French sex kitten in the late 50s and 60s. Catch her at her most delectable in Roger Vadim's 1956 movie "And God Created Woman". Bardot has aged somewhat ungraciously, to the extent that has become a supporter of LePen.

Somewhat ungraciously? Typically Greek understatement. Think (current) Malcolm McDowell with hooters.What is becoming of the Collective Memory of the human race? In two days I've now encountered people here who never heard of Clarabelle the Clown or Brigitte Bardot. And certainly not Christine Jorgensen! Did the 50's really happen? Every day it seems less likely.I'm beginning to feel like a griot, a tribal keeper of oral histories in the Senegal: "This is the story of Harold Stassen, who one day went into the jungle to make a drum and never returned..."
