Re: Brigitte
in reply to a message by Just Jonquil
I always pronounce Brigitte the German way, bree-GEE-tah. I prefer Brigit or Bridget over the French pronunciation of Brigitte, but I think Brigitte is one of those names that she'll always have to pronounce and spell to people. Nothing is wrong with that, and I think the association with Brigitte Bardot would be helpful in pronunciation: "It's Brigitte, like Bardot, not Bridget."
