How do the Dutch pronounce name for Johnny?

The Dutch pronunciation of "Johnny" is "Yoh-nee"

* "Yoh" is pronounced like the English "yo" with a slightly longer "o" sound.

* "nee" is pronounced like the English "knee" with a short "e" sound.

It's worth noting that in Dutch, the "y" sound is typically written with a "j" and a "y" at the beginning of a word is often pronounced as a "j" sound. So, "Johnny" would be written as "Joni" in Dutch.
