I'd go for the last one, except the stress should be on the second syllable 
(the last-syllable-stress rule doesn't apply to propoer nouns). The Turkish 
dotless I is actually pronounced higher in the mouth than schwa (in IPA it's 
that small i with a crossbar) but Y is still a better approximation than U.
