Theodoric Borgognoni (1205 – 1296/8), also known as Teodorico de' Borgognoni, and Theodoric of Lucca, was an Italian who became one of the most significant surgeons of the medieval period. A Dominican friar and Bishop of Cervia, Borgognoni is considered responsible for introducing and promoting important medical advances including basic antiseptic practice in surgery and the use of anaesthetics.

It gives off too much of a historic ring to use in real life, but I would totally use this for a book character.

I prefer the French form - Thierry, since I doubt you will find many people called "Theodoric" alive today.

As an English, English speaker I can assure you no one on this side of the Atlantic pronounces ODD as AHD.

At University (speaking more or less British English!) we were taught that the pronunciation was thee ODD er ic, with the th as in thistle. No doubt it'll be different in other languages, and in other dialects of English; and no doubt if Theodoric came back from the Dark Ages he wouldn't imagine that any of our pronunciations referred to him at all.

I believe your version would work for any accent of English. (Most of us Americans, myself included, would pronounce odd "ahd.")

The pronunciation given is the conventional English one as pronounced by most Americans, who rhyme "bother" with "father." It would not be accurate for most other accents of English, which make a distinction.

Actually, the pronunciation given by btn.com could be misleading. Being a native speaker, I'm 100% sure that to English speaking people, "teh-oh-DOH-ric" or else "teh-oh-DO-ric" (which isn't truly accurate but far better than the pronunciation "the-AHD-o-ric" that btn.com suggests) is closer to the true German pronunciation.
