Help[Opinions] Idony
How is Idony properly pronounced? I've looked at several sites and found "AYE-duh-nee", "ih-DOH-nee", "ah-dun-AYE". Most seem to agree it comes from Idunn (don't know how to make that symbol like a little "o" with a carrot over it that sounds like a hard "th"), but no site...not even Wiki...gives a pronunciation of this name from Norse mythology, other than a user comment of "ee-thun".
A video I found gives Idunn pronounced as "ih-DOON" by the narrator.
Two videos I found with people by the name, Idony...one a British teenager who introduces herself, and one a birthday party of a British toddler with guests saying her name...use the "AYE-duh-nee" pronunciation.
This last happens to be the sound I prefer (AYE, rhymes with "eye" as far as I can tell), but I wouldn't want to use it that way if it's only a popular butchering, as with Caitlin being said as "KATE-lyn".
Playing with combos so far...

Any thoughts or other ideas?
