It has a lovely meaning and history, though I prefer Idony and Idunn in terms of spelling.

I like how it looks. It puts me in mind of Pre-Raphaelite paintings. I would definitely trip over the pronunciation, as I do with Idony as well! These names are very "look but don't touch" for me.

I like it, but it's too close to the Latin adjective for "suitable." I strongly prefer Idony and Idunn.

I don’t think you should name your child “suitable” or “morally correct”.Maybe for a character. An old lady.

That's just one of the possible origins of the name. There's also the possibility it's a form of Idunn.

It sounds mystical, like a Scottish castle. Weird connection but I made it all the same. How would you pronounce it?

Google translate can show you (Spanish, Italian and Portuguese).

I say it I-dohn-ay-uh, but someone in the comments mentions it could just be I-dohn-ay, which I also like.
