How would you pronounce this name?

Jadyn.

Jay-din or Jad-in?

This lady in the parent group in my sons university kept calling her DD Jay-din but the name is clearly phonetically spelled Jad-in. No??

However the young woman going to the same university as your son wishes the pronunciation to be.

Nowadays, parents will change the spelling of a child's name though the pronunciation will be the same as other children.

Just roll with it.

Ok . Why is this triggering you?

You pronounce names in whatever way the person chooses to be addressed.

And to hell with the English language then? Okie dokie!

My son learned that as a 2 syllable word ja-dyn ja is an open syllable and therefore it has the long a sound. In the other examples of yours (sad, mad, etc) it's a closed syllable so a short vowel sound.

Jay-din would be my first guess, however if I was corrected then I’d pronounce it whichever way the person pronounces it.

When you say "Jad-in" do you mean as in rhymes with Aladdin? Because that would never occur to me just looking at "Jadyn". I would assume it's pronounced "Jay-din" until notified otherwise.

Names don't follow normal rules. I know someone who's name is pronounced just like the word "destiny" but her name is spelled Destyne. Parent's choice, and because it's a name it's not wrong.

Jay-din or however the person tells me to pronounce it.

My daughter is Annika..... Pronounced Ann-Ick-Uh, people have argued it should be pronounce. On-ick-uh, AH-Nick-uh, or Ahh-nee-ka.

Nope its pronounced Ann-Ick-Uh, because that's how she and I pronounce it and that's what I named her.

Do you mean you would pronounce it with a long A? Like "had"? That makes zero sense to me. It's spelled "differently" but I'm not familiar with "Had-in" in any language or culture.

I would say Jay-din
