So is that “on-dree”?

Approximately. More like AHN-dree-y. Although adding a little “y” sound on the end is unfamiliar to English speakers.

Interesting, thanks.

I’ve always liked to learn to pronounce people’s names the way they would like them pronounced.

When I was growing up, my father was a migrant English teacher. We had lots of visitors who spoke other languages, so I developed the habit of asking, trying, asking again, trying again until I got the pronunciation right.

Coincidentally, I’ve just seen this …
