My name is (zay-da) it’s mispronoucened all the time it’s pronounced either (zy-dah) when trying to add the I my name is spelled Zaida and the I is always tricky to people, especially to my teacher she calls me zy-dah 24/7 on a regular daily basis at school. It’s a complicated yet interesting name.
This is my name, and it's OFTEN mispronounced as Zay-dah. Zy-dah (long I sound) is how my name is pronounced. Unique, often mispronounced, but wouldn't change it for the world. Had you asked me 30 years ago, I might have answered differently. ;)
Latin American Spanish pronunciation: SIE-da.
