Deirdra

I'm liking the name Deirdra for a girl, DEER-drah. That's how Deirdre ought to be pronounced in Irish, but everyone says DEER-dree now, which I don't like. (It got confused with Greek names long ago, hence the change in pronunciation.) I thought spelling it Deirdra could solve the problem. Wdyt?
