Jade name
In the Netherlands we have the girls name Jade, but it’s not pronounced how you would read it. It’s pronounced Jah-duh. I’d love the name but would hate it if it was pronounced the English way, is there a spelling (that doesn’t look ridiculous like above) you think could make it a nice name in English and being pronounced correctly?
Or should I just accept it’s a no go haha…

If you're okay with an Italian name
@Elizabeth hmm you’re right! Would’ve never thought about that spelling - thank you!
i would pronounce Jada as Jah-duh - and it's a legit variant of the name Jade, so it's a "real" name and not a made-up spelling. i would avoid Jayda/Jaeda, as i would pronounce those as "JAY-duh". 💕
Yaada
I've got no suggestions other than what other people have said, but just wanted to say I feel your pain 😅 im Dutch in the UK and my name never gets said "right". Wanted a Dutch name for my son but couldn't figure out a name that would work in the UK too, so gave up in the end
@Suzanne ah so you know how I meant the pronunciation of Jade haha! I think it’s just not going to work but was worth a try!
