My cousin's name, she is from Guatemala. She pronounces it ya-deer-a, though.

I think it's pretty.

I would have pronounced it as solveig does, Ya-deer-a.
I can see another pronounciation, though, thinking of Ygraine, which I think is Ee-graine?

I might be misrepresenting the pronounciation, I meant the “Y” is more of a “ee “ sound like “Yvonne” than an “ay” sound.
