Bridget, definitely.

Brigette makes me want to stress the "ette." Not to mention all the other spellings just look ugly to me.

[washironfucketc.livejournal.com]

Bridget or Brigid.

bridget. the others look like someone tried too hard to make a known name look original.
the last ones were probably intended to be bridget, but there's a possibility of being called "brig-id" which is ugly.

Actually, the last ones are pronounced "Breed."

*shrug* It's Celtic.

I prefer Brigitte as long as it's pronounced "bree-ZHEET" (the French pronunciation). Otherwise, Bridget for sure.

yeay bridget! that's my name :). i get a lot of "bridgette" though.

I really like Bridget. I knew a Brigid and her name was pronounced Brij-id, to rhyme with frigid (though that didn't really occur to me at the time).

Bridget. A lot of the others aren't pronounced the same. Only use Brigitte if you're in France.

Yeah, Brigid really is pronounced the way it's spelled. I know a Brigid who is truly "Brij-id."

Personally, I prefer Bridgette.

Brigid is on my top 5. Where I am it is pronounced the same way as Bridgit.
