Sure, I could, but I don't have a Hindi font handy, and I am not sure it would show up correctly on this page even if I did. Send me your email address and I can send it to you as a jpeg image.

Just one thing, however - there is no equivalent vowel in Hindi that sounds like the a in the English word 'sad', it would have to sound like the a in 'father' or the u in 'duck'. So, it is going to come out as sounding something like 'brod-lee'. On the other hand, if you are British, then it will actually sound like the name Bradley, since they pronounce it differently than Americans.
