Speaking as a Scot, to me it is indisputably “Badenoch”, rhyming with “Sad wee Enoch”. There is a whole region of Scotland so named (Badenoch & Strathspey, doncha know.)That'll be like Kapoor "pronounced Cooper".
I think there is a record of Kemi belligerently correcting some journalist and insisting that her name is pronounced “Baydenoch”, but it seems unconvincing to me.
Frankly, she might as well be Kemi Cuntflap.
