I pronounce both Zeta and Zaida ZAY-dah. The Zeta I know pronounces her name ZAY-dah. Perhaps I'm wrong, or in a very small minority, in pronouncing Zaida ZAY-dah, but I look at it and that's what I think. This site isn't helpful in this regard, as it doesn't give a pronunciation of Zaida.

Zaida is with a EE sound (ZAH-ee-dah), but ZAY-dah isn't too far off. It's the Zeta part. I go by what this site says and what Catherine Zeta Jones uses and that's ZEE-tah (makes sense if it's a form of Zita).
