Did my due diligence, Jytte (pronounced You-tay) is a Danish women's name.

Total nitpick: You-tay is very far from how the name Jytte is pronounced. In IPA it'd be ['jydə] I think. You-dah would be closer, in the sense that she might look up if you'd say that :-)

But English doesn't have the [y] so it's hard to explain. Even harder that the y in Jytte is kind of halfway [y] and [œ]. Somewhere between the vowel in "few" and the "i" in Cockney "bird".

Thanks for the correction.

Got it from a web site on names. I guess they were sloppy on the phonetic rendering.

Not enough due diligence on my part.
