Shadrach is an ancient Hebrew name -see The Bible book of Daniel chapter 1 verse 7. Any suggested modern English pronunciations of Bible names can only be approximations of how they may have been pronounced in Bible times. Some authorities suggest the form shay-drak*, while others may use the form shad-rak. If this name is already in common use in a particular country or language, the local/customary pronunciation of the name would be 'correct' for that particular language group. [* regarding shay-drak, this particular pronunciation was proposed by the language expert consulted when the Revised Standard Version of the Bible was produced in 1952. The RSV has a feature of Bible names being written in a semi-phonetic format in order to assist readers with the pronunciation of unfamiliar Bible names]
