I immediately thought 'boy' as the gender. Looking it up, I saw that it was a Bridget variant, but that was not obvious at all. I'd go with a different variant if you want the meaning. Birgit, Britt, Birgitta, Britta are also Scandinavian. If your ln is 2 syllables, Birgitta would probably flow best, unless the emphasis is on the last syllable, then Britt would likely work very well too.

I don't think Berit is weirder than a lot of names given now, though that doesn't mean that it's a great name either because there are a lot of really awful names being given these days. I know a Britt and a Britta, so I don't think those would be out of place at all.
