I checked, the only pronunciation they show is may-lay. Same with dictionary.comEerors said:
Considering it's a french word "mêlée" it makes perfect sense.

Isn't it in fact a French word anyway? There should be be an acute over the second e, no?
May-Lay.
It's stupid, but then again, it's french. Bordeaux which looks like it should be pronounced "Bored-ee-ooh-x is really pronounced Bor-d'oh. The french hate letters, apparently, despite their love of the unused letters. On the other hand, Bordeaux sounds incredibly sexy, so I wouldn't mind if my GF was named that.
Oh, confused thoughts and rambling fingers!

Does it really matter which way people say it? As long as you know what it means then it should be ok
May-Lay...
As in
"Melee combat is for real men, brawling and such... Only women use M60s and AK-47s."
or
"A Melee weapon could be anything from a crowbar, knife, butt end of a gun, sword, baseball bat, pen, jukebox, hair pick, calculator, beer bottle, baby bottle, can of spaghettios, chainsaw, thermometer, jar of homemade whiskey, torch, dagger, katana, power cord, hair brush, algebra text book, 2x2 w/ nails, TV, battleaxe, hunting spear, swiss army knife, bathtub... Stuff like that."
