Bridget, definitely.

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

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.

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

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."

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

Actually, the last ones are pronounced "Breed."

*shrug* It's Celtic.
