I named my son YU'UDAI. I added an apostrophe (') because I did not like the sound of the original name (YOU-DIE), but loved the meaning and the spelling. So this is MY interpretation of the name, YOU-EW-DAY. Many people ask me if it is of African origin. Many people have tried to correct the pronunciation, saying I have spelled it wrong based on what they hear. I just hope that I haven't offended anyone by changing the pronunciation because I do love his name very much.
My Japanese friend has this name, people laugh at that name almost whenever it was first said (it was like saying 'YOU-DIE' to that poor person.) But lucky as time had passed, people got used to it and didn't bother to laugh at it anymore.
