HelpRe: Spelling help with Irish name
in reply to a message by Erin
That looks to me like purely a matter of taste.
I think people might (in the US anyway) be more inclined to spell it Bridget without asking the spelling, so it might be less distracting to use that spelling. But Brigit is just as English-speaking a spelling, I think, and most everyone has seen it. So it's not like that is a big issue. (Even Brigid is quite workable imo)
I think you should go with whatever you think is more attractive. Personally, I'd pick Bridget because it is just a little more familiar to me, and I'd be more comfy calling my own daughter that.
