An Aesop: The series in its own way drops several.

The Sloane Rangers Bridget and her friend Magda run into fall under this trope, the men have normal names like 'Jeremy' and 'Michael' whereas the women sometimes have silly, babyish names like 'Pufti', 'Mufti', and 'Woney' (for Fiona).

Lampshaded in the third book when Bridget wonders why her children, Mabel and Billy, go to school with classmates who are all called Cosmata, Thelonius, Atticus, etc.

Added Alliterative Appeal: 'Jaundiced Julian', and 'Tangerine-tinted buffoon.'.

Adapted Out: Bridget and Mark in the films don't appear to have any siblings, whereas the novels had Bridget's older brother Jamie and a mention of Mark's brother Peter getting married.

The movies have removed any trace of Uncle Geoffrey being a closeted gay man.

Adaptational Sexuality: This happens to Rebecca Gillies.

Whereas Renée Zellweger previously put on weight for the first two movies so she'd look rounder like a regular person, in Bridget Jones' Baby Bridget is as slim as Zellweger during her Chicago days, with only an offhand comment explaining that she finally made it to her ideal weight.

Adaptational Curves: Inverted with Bridget in the third film, showing her far thinner than she's been in the films or books.

Rebecca Gillies became a nice secretary to Mark, she is also a closeted lesbian nursing a crush on the romantically attached and heterosexual Bridget.

Pam expresses a sense of loneliness in her marriage and even when it comes to her relationship to her daughter and husband her boyfriend is adapted from a con artist to merely a jerk with a spray tan that make Snooki gasp.Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Happens to a few characters when the books were adapted to film.

Come the film adaptations and she is merely the good-natured and brainy daughter of a wealthy man who has a close professional relationship with Mark with no carnal interest in him. The books portrayed her as a jealous thirty-something Rich Bitch that went out of her way to press Bridget's buttons and she genuinely tried to seduce Mark. Adaptation Personality Change: A huge example with Rebecca Gillies.Adaptation Name Change: Mark's mother was named Elaine in the books, the films changed it to Geraldine.There was even some illustrated editions of the 1st two books (after the movies) where there was a brunette Bridget and Shazzer (compare to blonde film portrayals) and light haired Magda and Jude (redhead and brunette in film respectively).The first book mentions Pam being identified with red hair and the third book mentions that Woney had dark hair when she was younger the films have them played by blonde actresses Gemma Jones and Dolly Wells.

In the movies, Bridget's portrayed by blonde Renee Zellweger, although in the first book she commented about men preferring blondes in a way that indicates she is not blonde in book canon.Absolute Cleavage: The films usually have Bridget tastefully showing off her breasts, but there are a few outfits that show off her cleavage, her Playboy Bunny costume being a prominent example.Tropes used in the various Bridget Jones media: A third film, Bridget Jones's Baby, was released in 2016, with Patrick Dempsey co-starring.
