How would you read the name Lodemai ?

It's a name I found some years ago through a Vampire Name Generator (intended for role plyaing) and it stuck with me. Then I found it's an old english name that means 'guide', and other versions are Lodema and Lodemah.
I pronounce it Lo-duh-m-eye, but with a quick 'duh' syllable and I'm not sure if it's meant to sound this.
I like it pronounced in italian because it has a very 'liquid' cadence.
However, I could never use it in italian (at least not for a baby, I mean) because it's two nouns next too each other, 'lode' and 'mai', which mean 'praise' and 'never', so it would actually have a weird meaning.

WDYT?

Also, what about these names?

Daphne
Sybilla (nn Billie)
Glenda
Dominique

I'd probably pronounce it Lo-de-may. It's a pretty name, but when you think of the meanings, it does seem a little weird.

Out of the names, I really like Dominique. It was my favourite name last summer.

I'd pronounce it Lo-de-m-eye...so like you, I guess.
I don't hate it, but I'm not a fan either.
I only like Daphne of your other names. And I could like Dominique, if I didn't know a really mean girl with that name.

Lho-duh-mye, it looks like a Dutch name so I'd pronounce it like that.

i'd say it "low-deh-my"

I like the names Daphne and Dominique, and Sybilla isn't bad but I prefer just plain Sybil. Don't like Glenda at all.
