The ads here in Australia say it He-Un-Day, with a short "he." Weirdest I've heard is he-yun-die (where the 'yun' is pronounced as if saying 'unicorn')

I used to pronounce it Hy un die as well, but now I generally say Hun day. Actually, what I say is more like Hən-die, where the ə is the sound of the "a" in comma, which is somewhat different than the uh sound in Sunday. I'm not trying to --that's just closer to how I do it. To put it a different way, Hahn-die but with your mouth less open than usual.
Wikipedia has it ending in a short-e sound, as in dress. -------------------- A proud member of the club.
