Name help

Amanda
Hi! My husband and I are naming our daughter after his Irish family name (his grandma's maiden name). The traditional way to spell it is "Leyden" (pronounced "lie-den") We really love that it is so different and the traditional Gaelic spelling is so unique, however, we already know everyone will say "lay-den" (which is fine, cuz that's how it looks 😀). But do you think we should keep it the real spelling of "Leyden" or Americanize the spelling to "Lyden" to avoid constant mispronunciation?? Thank you!!
