It's quite common here in the West coast of Scotland for Bridgets to end up being known as Bridie. Which is also the name of a kind of pie/pastry thing. Not terribly flattering as nicknames go. My maiden name was Clements-Jewery and for a large part of my schooling, my nickname was Durex. Jewery...Durex. I still think it's a bit of a stretch.

I remember bridie as a type of pasty when I was at sea.  On the menu, it was listed as a Forfar bridie.  Is this a delicacy originally from Forfar?

Yes.  A pasty by any other name.

I was always called woodie obviously because of my surname Wood until one day someone say a film staring one Woodie Strode somehow from that day on my nickname became Strode
