LOL.  Glad you called it... saved me the work... 

darkelf, who thrives on picking nits like this... 

I agree that Britain, Brittany, Breton, etc came from Pict, but I'm not
sure Brigid is only Irish and local.
Bride, Bridget, Birgitta, Brigette, etc are fairly common throughout
Celtic/Teutonic societies. I'm pretty sure I learned the name came from
the Celtic/Teutonic (of which Picts, Scots, Irish, and Cornishmen were
branches) goddess of life
