I learned Nay Deen ... the AY is not very long, it's like in
Raymonde. Stress like in
Darlene, about the same but seeming to be on the Deen.
I prefer it that way because ... that's how I say it. Nəh-DEEN and Nad-DEEN seem foreign to me.
I think this might be a name that has different American and British/Canadian pronunciations. ?? I never even realized it was related to
Nadia.
Nor did I read the etymology of that ... what a nice name
Nadejda is.
