Glad you told us how to say your name though, I always came up with:

Dij (digital) k strah

or better yet

dik (slilent j) straw.. which gave me a good lol
Haha yeah I know I've gotten my fair share of comments "did you just smash keys on your kb when making that name" etc. But it's a legit Dutch, common last name. the "ij" makes the long "i" or "y" sound in Dutch.

the oe in in Dutch is always heard as "oo" or "uuu" if you prefer to type it that way, but the point stands that it's a long o sound, rather than the "oh" sound everyone is assuming it is, which is not a bad thing since the rule doesn't really exist for us in English. But the katakana for the name is written as "Ru Ga Din", and along with a posting of how the pronunciation exists for the roegadyn lore, it pretty much confirmed that it uses a similar scheme to the Dutch language.
