Is it Low-Naida... Loo-Needa...? How on earth do you pronounce it?!
Thanks!
Yep, sounds good to me; but I’ve also heard it pronounced La-oo—Nah-ee-dah so sorry if doubt sinks in again 😜

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 [:)]
I have always heard it pronounced Low-Nyda, and that is how it is pronounced in this Logos training video.

Then there is this pronunciation in an official logos video
Eugene Nida's wife (who is Spanish) says his surname here:
Pronounced by Dr Rob Plummer...
Let Google read it to you in Afrikaans:

Hmmm. I wonder if my wife knows your wife. [;)]The official Logos video and the wife are correct!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]
I am inclined to stick to the old ways and pronounce the names "Low (and behold) NIGH-da."
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.
