I'm not against unisex names, but if I saw Bridget and Chase together, I would think one was a girl and one was a boy. If you're really set on Chase, Schuyler and Chase probably make the better pair.

If Bridget and Schuyler had been an option, I would have voted for those. I've heard Skyler on a girl, so it's not as much of a stretch for me as Chase is.

Is the Schuyler spelling a family name? If not, the Skyler spelling might simplify her life.

this is odd - I know a girl named Schuyler Reese - that spelling, but Reese is her last name, I don't know her first name - she's the only Schuyler, boy or girl, I've ever seen with that spelling. she's about 25 or 26, is married now I think, so her last name is no longer Reese

anyway, I don't like Chase for a girl even a little

I'm not crazy for Bridget, but don't mind Brigitta, although I'd never have used it

Skyler - I know way more boys than girls with this and I'm not really too much into unisex, so I didn't vote

good luck though

I love love love Bridget, unfortunatley I don't like either of your other girls choices.

Some other names that have a bit of a unisex feel that would work with Bridget:

Piper
Delaney
Rowan
Hadley
Harper
Aubrey
Teagan

Good luck!!

Hi, I'm sorry but I wan't able to vote. I really like Bridget a lot. Chase just doesn't sound one bit like a girls name, even a unisex one. I'm sorry. I like the name Skylar for a boy, but have a really hard time with the spelling Schuyler, simply because the poor child will end up having to spell it out for EVERYONE. I don't mean to sound so down, am just being honest. I do like the name Sky for a girl a lot. Maybe Sky and Bridget?
Reece is also cute for a girl.

Bridget is the only name in your choices that I like, so it was tempting to vote that way. But I had to choose Schuyler and Chase, just because Bridget and Chase seem like a really ill-fitting pair for twins, or even sisters. For one thing, I expect people would frequently assume, from names alone, that you had boy/girl twins (and the same would happen if you paired Schuyler and Bridget, although I do like the original Dutch spelling for Schuyler). The names seem to clash in pretty much every aspect of style and image, to my ear at least. While Schuyler and Chase are not favourites of mine, they are more in harmony with each other than either is with Bridget. If it were up to me, though, I'd stick with Bridget and find another first name to make a better match for it, and perhaps Chase could be moved to the middle position... Reese and Chase balance out nicely for twin middle names.

I'm torn because I like Schuylar and Chase better AS A PAIR, but I wouldn't use Reese as the MN for Schuylar because it is too unisex. Also not sure of your spelling although I have seen a girl with her name spelled somewhat similar to that.

I think Skylar sounds better with Chase spelled Skylar.

Chase on a girl is really growing on me, but ONLY as a nn. I think that Bridget Reese and Charlotte Alexandra nn Chase is PERFECT. Bridget and Charlotte are of similar style and go nicely as twins, but then you can use the spunky nn Chase for Charlotte and find something along the same lines for Bridget (maybe Brita, Bridg, Bee, I knew a little girl Bridget whose parents sometimes called her Ridge, etc.) I'm sure the other board members could come up with something better.
Anyways, I LOVE Bridget Reese (nn?) and Charlotte Alexandra (Chase) as sisters.

Hi, I voted for Schuyler (skyler) because of the sound, not the spelling. If I were you I'd shange the spelling so your daughter doesn't have to be embarrassed every first day of school when the teacher can't figure out how to pronounce her name and every day a substite comes and tries to take roll. That can be hard for a kid.
