How is this name pronounced, in your opinion?
Reindert
It's a Frisian male name, and I know how it's originally pronounced, but I need to know how English-speaking people think how it is pronounced, so maybe I could change the spelling so that the name is easier to pronounce for English-speaking people.
Regards,
Lu

Being from the south and all, I'd have to agree with Matt and say "RainDurt".

I would pronounce it RHINE-DERLT or RHINE-DIRT. It looks german to me and that is how one would pronounce it in Germany.

I imagine the american english pronunciation of that would be like RAINDURT since people would associate the rein like reindeer, and dert of course in an american pronunciation
