As Richard pointed out in a comment on a deleted fork, ディ is turning up. We have it in the "バースデー;バースディ;バースデイ" entry. Richard wrote:

On the other hand, in support of ディ, I get results such as this:
Google n-gram counts
ホワイトデー: 663888
ホワイトデイ: 17366
ホワイトディ: 15101
.
But it seems strange that ディ could be used, 
since it seems to indicate pronunciation "dee" rather than "day".
Could it be just a common misspelling, perhaps?
Kojien, for example, has デイ and デー but not ディ.

I suggest adding ディ, tagged as "ik".
