I've always said M'lee, rolls of the tongue just nicely.

I've heard it said two ways but I wanted to know what was more common. Personally I say it like Me Lee, like its spelt but what about you guys?

May-lay. People saying meh-lee or mee-lee really get under my skin.

Me Lee here. I'm not from UK or US, so I always said it the way it made more sense from the way the word is spelled.

Just because one source says it May-lay doesn't mean it's the accepted pronunciation universally. I don't see why someone else saying it in another correct way would affect you :X

May-lay makes more sense if you go by the origin of the word. Me Lee makes more sense if you go by the way it's spelled.
