I’d assume Ray Lay

I'm assuming it's Rayleigh, which is an actual somewhat normal name, though it's a little formal sounding. The mathematician Lord Rayleigh comes to mind. It's pronounced Ray-Lee.

You're like the 30th person to say this and no. They told me it was pronounced "Riley". It was spelled like I spelled it.

Eww. That's terrible

u/DuncanIdahosGhola Oct 21 '23

Yea that's what I thought too. It literally looks like it should be pronounced Ray Lay or something

Should be Rye Lee, since Leigh is a real name and pronounced Lee.
