Brisida is a new one to me, and I like it!, which makes me happy, because I've always liked the story of Briseis but never the name itself. So here's a new, and authentic, alternative! Curious: Would Briseida or Briseda be very wrong? Those spellings seem more indicative of the original name, to me.

Briseida is the most accurate

It pronounced Bre-see-da

Briseis Cassandra was one i was considering along with Briseis Andromache, but since they're all from the same story it might be a bit much?

oh, cool.
i think i'd use another greek middle name (that's my theme) though. although i do like Briseis Cassandra!
