WDYT? I know the site says the pronunciation is BREED but I pronounce it BREE-hid/BREE-id. Which way would you pronounce it? Brigid / Brighid

More like Bride -edit

Gah, I typed BREED without thinking, sorry. I've always thought the most authentic pronunciation was more like the word bride.

For a two syllable pronunciation, I'd stick with Bridget.

I prefer Brígh ('bree'), simply because Brighid/Brigid sounds like 'breed'.

It's pronounced BRIED, which is what this site says too. Like the word bride. Not BREED. I like it, and prefer the spelling Brighid.
