Saoirse discusses how the nickname Lady Bird has never been explained as to its origins but I realized tonight it's such a fitting name for the character. Lady Bird desires to fly away and leave the nest and much of the tension in the film between herself and her mother is about her desire for independence, as well as her transition from teenager to adult, hence the word "Lady." By calling herself "Lady Bird" ("Lady" plus "Bird") she is trying to convey to the world that she wants to be seen as an independent, free thinking, creative adult that wants to assert her autonomy and establish her own identity. By giving herself the nickname rather than going by the name she was given by her parents, she is establishing a self-created identity while rejecting her parents' authority. It's very aspirational.
