[78-L] 78-L Digest, Vol 65, Issue 34

[Mike Harkin]

What does, or did, the owner of the name say?  Any way of ascertaining?  I can  think of two or three more variants
besides the two so far.  As to th BBC, they may be wright,
but OTOH anglophones are notoriously loosey-goosey
when pronouncing the least out-of-the-usual names [anglo
or foreign].  Usual being Smith, Jones, Brown, Williams....

Mike in Plovdiv

Kristjan, In my podcasts I've always put emphasis on first syllable, so
SI-day.

That was the pronunciation used by BBC presenters Alan Dell and Malcolm
Laycock.
