I submitted this name and remember writing the pronunciation as 'Ay-DEED since the c in Somali is pronounced like ayn in Arabic. I'm not sure why it was edited by someone else like that. Also it's not a rare Somali name it is common especially amongst elders. I can't see the option to re-edit the post which is why I am leaving this comment. For the other spellings section Somalis especially when in the west will leave out the c thus spellings such as Aydiid or Aideed exist.
