ArchivesDutch name - pronunciation?
How would the Dutch name "Aleydis" be pronounced? I read it's a contracted form of Adelheidis, so related to Adelheid etc.
I've been going with "a-LAY-diss" in my mind but that's total guesswork.
Thanks in advance :-)

I'm fairly certain
that the Dutch diphtong "ey" is pronounced like the word "eye" so the name would more likely be pronounced like ah-lie-dis (no idea what syllable is accented).
Of course, I'm not Dutch, don't speak Dutch and have never heard the name spoken.
