Italian pronunciation:
Eyhd-Dah
The "E" equals quite nearly "Hey" (while excluding the "H"). Be certain to clearly pronounce both "DD"s-- which is most easily accomplished by placing extra emphasis on the letter found directly before ("E") and slowly following through until rounding it off with the final "A" (as in Father). [noted -ed]

Contrary to popular belief, Audrey Hepburn's real name was not Edda. She was born Audrey Kathleen Ruston in Brussels in 1929. However, she did unofficially adopt the name Edda during the war when it was dangerous to have an English-sounding name in occupied Europe.
