Is it Low-Naida... Loo-Needa...? How on earth do you pronounce it?!
Thanks!
Is it Low-Naida
This is what I've always said and heard...can't wait to see if I was in the right or not, though [:)]

Yep, sounds good to me; but I’ve also heard it pronounced La-oo—Nah-ee-dah so sorry if doubt sinks in again 😜

I have always heard it pronounced Low-Nyda, and that is how it is pronounced in this Logos training video.
/loʊ 'naɪdə/
I don't Nida person to pronounce it for me. Louw and behold, I can pronounce it all by myself.

Then there is this pronunciation in an official logos video

Eugene Nida's wife (who is Spanish) says his surname here:

The official Logos video and the wife are correct! 👍😁👌

I am inclined to stick to the old ways and pronounce the names "Low (and behold) NIGH-da."Another itch that needs scratched is Nestle and Aland.
Nestle: NEST-lay / NEST-lee / NESS'l
Aland: Ah-LAHND / Uh-LAND
But that might be for another thread.
Let Google read it to you in Afrikaans:

Well folks, these have all been most entertaining answers to my question, THANKS!
I think I'm going to go with Low-Naida (like Oneida, the cutlery people!)
As for Nestle-Aland, I've always said NEST-lee-Alan-with-a-D

The wife is always correct. At least, that's what mine says.

Truth be told, my wife has an uncanny sense of direction, so whenever we're driving on back-roads and forestry roads, I always trust her judgement regarding the direction we're heading and which fork in a road to take. Seems she's always right. Hard on my ego, but I've never been lost when she was with me--something I have managed to accomplish a couple of times when I've been on my own. [:O]

If it was good enough for the Apostle Paul, it's good enough for me.
Maybe Nita Lowey knows.
Since Mrs. Nida gave a definitive answer, and since Johannes P. Louw was born, raised and educated in South Africa, perhaps a South African brother or sister could enlighten us.
Since it has been discussed in past threads that Logos is not even consistent in pronouncing its own name https://community.logos.com/forums/t/119401.aspx I'm afraid I'm not really trusting their videos for a definitive answer.[:|]
I asked one of my best friends who is from SA. He said "Lo". [:)]
I grew up uncertain whether or not my own last name had a voiceless or a voiced "th". Now I'm old enough to make up my own rules.

That is good enough for me!
