I heard this is Latin. How to pronounce it? Day-uh, Day, Dee,
Dee-a? Does it really matter, especially in America? I live in America.

My niece's mn is Dei and they pronounce it Day.

So what?
I guess we´re talking of Dea, not Dei(by the way, "Dei" in latin means "God´s": Vox populi, vox Dei [peoples´ voice is God's voice]).

If you want the Latin pronunciation it's DAY-ah. If you want to use it in the US, it doesn't really matter how it's pronounced in Latin (in my opinion), then I'd use the pronunciation that most Americans would use to avoid spelling confusion or the one you like best.
To my sweet muse
Every time you rip my heart out
Every time you break it
I pick up the pen I hold in my hands
And write the most beautiful poems
But you know what
If it's alright by you
I'd rather be happy than a poet

I think in latin it's DEH-ah, no DAY-ah.
