I know one György Nagy resident in Sweden who changed his name/spelling to
George Nady. He claims Nady is a possible Hungarian spelling, though the
improvement from one mispronunciation ['nA:gy] to another [nA:dy] isn't
obvious to me, especially since a Swedish hard /g/ before an /i/ is
actually quite palatal, unlike a /d/!
