Pronunciation of Thaddeus ๐Ÿƒ

Okay, I am curious, and realised that I may or may not be pronouncing Thaddeus correctly. How do you guys pronounce it???
X

I say it [name_m]Thad[/name_m] (rhymes with cad, pad, lad, dad) -EEE-Us, and I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve ever heard it said differently? But I could see Thad-Ay (like hay, bay, kay, jay) -Us being used in some languages/accents even though Iโ€™ve never personally encountered that

Like above (Thad-rhymes-with-pad / ee / us) but with the emphasis on the first syllable.

THAD-ee-us.

I have an acquaintance who has two relatives (nephews, maybe? [name_u]Or[/name_u] a nephew and a grandson?) And one says THAD-ee-us, the other tha-DAY-us.

I say it as Tad-ee-us, as this is how Iโ€™ve heard it pronounced locally.

I pronounce it tah-DEH-us.

[name_f]My[/name_f] pronunciation is influenced by the the Polish [name_m]Tadeusz[/name_m] (tah-DEH-oosh) though, one of my favorite Polish names.
