[Facts] Birgit
I know it's a variation of the name Bridget, but I'm not sure of its pronounciation. I saw it on a website, the girl was 13 and from the Netherlands. I've tried searching on here (and yes, tried the hyperlink of Birgit) but I can't find it's correct pronounciation, and I'm really curious. Does anyone know how its pronounced? Bridget, or Ber-get, Ber-jitt, Ber-jett....?

More like Beer-git; beer as in the drink, with the R sounded.

Birgit is also used in Sweden. It's a short form of Birgitta. I don't know about the Dutch pr., but in Swedish it's pr. BIRR-git.
