This name automatically makes me think of the singer from the 1980s, who pronounced her name something like SHAR-day. Back then, before anyone knew who David Spade was, he did stand-up comedy, and I'll never forget something he said. He was making fun of the way her name was pronounced, saying if her name was SHAR-day then he should be David SHPAR-day. :bSorry, that's just always what this name reminds me of. But maybe it's not even pronounced the same?

You can hear the Finnish pronunciation here:

My guess is to pronounce it SÄH-de or I guess SA-de to not use the Ä. I'm not a fan, it doesn't sound like a name to me. But then, I'm not a fan of names with umlauts (I know it isn't an umlaut in Finnish, but I don't know what else to call it) in general.

My first impulse was to pronounce it SAYD, but I can also see it pronounced as SAY-deh. I'm not really into either, but SAY-deh sounds more complete and I could learn to like it.
