Re: Kaydea
How is it pronounced? KAY-dee-ah? kay-DEE-ah? kay-DAY-ah? KAY-dee?I can’t say I’m a fan as it seems like just a collection of trendy sounds with no substance, but I would be interested to know more.

Going by Kaydea from school it was kay-DEE. Kinda like a corruption of Katie now that I think about it. If any other pronunciation is used, I'm unaware of it.

Oh I thought Kay dee a, I know a girl Kaydee, she's 15. It's ok, goes alongside Katie and Kasey

Maybe they took a trip to Canada and kept hearing “K.D.” everywhere. As in K.D. Lang or Kraft Dinner.

Perhaps. KD Lang was active from 1981 apparently so that's well within range. Her 1992 album [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ing%C3%A9nue_(album)] peaked at #3 on the UK charts so I'm guessing she was known decently well over here too.Also maybe they took a trip to America and heard the way Katie was pronounced there (I'm unsure what areas specifically, but there was a girl who moved from Alabama who pronounced Katie's name similar to Kaydea's). Maybe its a forced pronunciation?
