I know the name Olatunde, which I like. Not sure of Tunde pronounced Tindy. Why not just spell it Tindy? I think it will get mispronounced this way.

I know someone with that name and that is how it's pronounced in English not Hungarian.

...why, though? If I knew a Tunde "Tindy", I'd shrug because it's easy to pronounce and not my business, but it doesn't make sense to me.

If I'm just reading it phonetically in English, I'd say the 1st syllable the same as the one in tundra.

She's in her 30s and that is how she chose her name to be pronounced.
