Variants on a theme:It's the usual thing with pronunciation. It depends on where you come from. I'd pronounce it 'Goddy'

When articulating. remember to supress the puff of air on the 'd'. If you hold your hand in front of your mouth you can feel a little expolosion of air when spoken in English. The word actually sounds different with compared to without the puff (thats why I mention in!)
