Wouldn't that be pronounced "Bradleash"?

It would, or even "Braadleash".

There's no way round that problem. In Lojban, a short "i" is only used to break up consonant clusters that the speaker finds hard to pronunce (e.g. "zdani" can be pronounced "zidani") so it has no letter associated withi it (maybe in the future, when people are writing novels with characters speaking Lojban with different accents, it could be useful).
