Help[Facts] DÀIBHIDH-pronounciation
How do you pronounce DÀIBHIDH? It's Scottish for David. There is no pronounciation key under the name. Thanks!

It is my guess that you actually pronouce it David because of these reasons:
Daibhidh
the "a" is pronouced like an "e" with an accent on it. so it sounds like "ay"
the "b" and "h" together sound like "v"
the "dh" at the end sounds like "d"
so it sounds like Dayvid which is the same as David.
I know this because I am studying Gaelic
