..the American theorist behind the translation principle of equivalent effect? I'm talking about him in a presentation and I've heard his name pronounced both as "Needa" and "Nigh-da". Anyone claiming to know for sure?
Thanks!

You seem sure so I'll take your word for it (unless someone comes up with compelling evidence to the contrary!)

Russians seem to pronounce his name “Naida”:

Подобный подход получает свое развитие
в трудах Юджина Найды (Eugene Albert Nida)14.

When I was at college, we referred to him as KNEE-da, but I suspect it would have to be NIGH-da. I did a quick Youtube google for him, and found that I had also mispronounced Nestle (as in the Nestle text of the Greek New Testament). I had always said NESS-lay (like the food company) but perhaps it should be NESS'L or NEST'L.
