It's very neat. The sound reminds me a little of the word and concept of "bristling," though, after a bit of thought. Anyway, at first it struck me as quite pretty. Briseis is much more bristly and I prefer Briseida. It would, however, come out as Bris-EYE-da in my accent; if I could get away with that, I'd really like it. Briseida Maria, or if I didn't care to make the language match, Briseida Marguerite or B. Marie.

I like it. It has a nice unusual sound to it. Although I don't know if just anyone can pull it off. I kind of like Briseida Rose ~Kai

It's alright, but I don't really care for it. I prefer the English version Briseis.

It's very pretty, but I prefer the English version, Briseis (BRIS-ee-is, I believe).Briseida Sophia is nice, but is a little long for me. Also, it's rather heavy on the S sounds for my tastes. If you're Spanish, I suggest Sofía (Sofia), which would take care of the length problem, if not the S sound problem.
