I love the name Haydee, not Heidi.
Haydie
Hadie
Haydey
Hadee
Hadey*
Haidey

Spell it Heidi. Haydee looks very trendy and unattractive. If you don’t mind me asking, do you live in Finland? If so, you won’t have any problems with the pronunciation. In the US, the HAY-dee pronunciation may be a little difficult to pull off. Unfortunately, this pronunciation also reminds me of Hades (pronounced HAY-deez) which means ’Hell’

Haydee all the way. I like it when it’s pronounced (Eye-day)... but it’s still a great spelling. It would avoid confusion with the other pronounciation. And if you’ve read The Count of Monte Cristo or Don Juan, you’ll have an appreciation for that spelling.

hi! my names alina haydeé and my name is from mexican origins (variation of aidé) and i pronounce it like i-DEH
i love both heidi and haydee and i love the finnish pronounciation! i think you should go for haydee and still pronounce it the finnish way

hola me llamo heidi y mi madre se llama haidee, que raro no?. es que mi padre quiso ponerme un nombre similiar al de mi madre, por que ella no queria que me llamara heidi. los pronunciamos asi: heidi (jaidi) haidee (aide)

My name is Heidi it\’s pronounced Hi-D (I\’m Australian) but when we went to America they pronounced it Hey-D

heidi obviously

Heydee and Heidi is the same! (Haidee = aide is wrong)

This is a pretty post so I’m left more wondering which you ended up choosing. Personally I would have ignored the people who claimed the name looked "trendy" and gone with Haydee. Despite how people think it looks the spelling appears in "The Count of Monte Cristo" which I am currently reading and so goes back as far as the 19th century at the very least. (So, not "trendy", not really.) I was drawn to this forum mainly because I was looking for a pronounciation guide for the name. I think I will stay with Hay-Dee as I’ve been pronouncing it in my mind since it seems there are precidents for that. Thanks, for that though I know your question wasn’t related at all. :)
