  • My guess is that it would get mispronounced a lot as Vee-da...and the Vay-day pr. reminds me of Darth Vadar...NMS!
  • i think vay-dah. be i could see people easily thinking vee-dah too.

    I agree. I only know it's pronounced Vay-duh because I've seen this name a number of times on this board, otherwise I would think it was vee-duh.?

  • I see it as Vee-dah

    Two thoughts on the name. Pronounced Vee-dah reminds me of the cheese (vel)vee-dah and pronounced the way you invision it it reminds me of Darth Vader in a Boston accent. 

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.

    Not being familiar with Vay-da I definitely thought Veeda. What about just using Vayda?

  • I'd say vay-dah. Vedas are holy Hindu scriptures though.

    I have never heard the name before and I read it Vay-da. I like it. Very unique and uncommon (which is awesome!)

  • I know a Veda and she pronounces it Vee-da. So, that's how I would pronounce it.

  • I think regardless of how people pronounce it, at least it's an easy name to correct and I doubt anyone will mispronounce it a second time so she won't go through her whole life all agrrrrrrrrrrr.... about her name.

    I think it's beautiful, short, simple, and sweet.

  • I saw it & thought Vee-dah.  If you are going for Vay-da, I'd spell it Vada like in the movie.  It's pretty, but I think no matter how you spell it, she'd get mispronounciations her whole life.

    I agree. I read it as Vee-dah. I would spell it Vada for the Vay-dah pronunciation.

    I know a Veda and she pronounces it Vee-da.  I know where you are coming from with the My Girl movie though.
