How would you write my name phonetically for English speakers?

I have an Indian name which isn’t written out well in latin characters, so english speakers struggle to pronounce it properly without me saying it out loud first. There’s an event I’m attending where they’ve asked me to write out my name phonetically so that someone else (who I probably won’t know ahead of time) can read it out.

My name in the IPA is i think /aːd̪i/. I’m not super familiar with IPA transcriptions so this might be off but my name written in Tamil is ஆதி. can someone help me with a phonetic transcription of this for American English speakers?
