Bri-zheet.
My name is Brigitte and I'm Dutch, I always pronounce my name as Bri-git with the short i's as the i's in big/brick/sick/etc., so not "long" as Bree-git. Although there are always people who pronounce my name as if it's French, which I really really dislike, actually it's a rare thing if people pronounce it correctly the first time. It isn't that hard, is it?
I know someone named Brigitte, who pronounces it 'brij-it' just like the spelling 'Bridget'.
The Russian pronunciation is brih-GEET, with a hard "G".
