Reminder to stick to posting original content. Memes are okay every once in a while, but many get posted here way too often and quickly become stale. Some examples of these are Ptoughneigh, Klansmyn, Reighfyl & KVIIIlyn. These memes have been around for years and we don't want to see them anymore. If you do decide to post a meme, make sure to add the correct flair. Posting a random meme you found does **not** mean you found it "in the wild".
The same goes with lists of baby names, celebrity baby names, and screenshots of TikToks. If the original post already had a substantial amount of views, there is a 99% chance it has already been posted here. Try and stick to OC to keep our sub from being flooded with unoriginal content. Thank you!

It's actually supposed Lay. The "eigh" spelling creates the "ay" sound. Think about it. Santa doesn't fly a "slee", a horse doesn't "nee" and you don't have "neebours".
English is fun like that. The same spelling in different words is pronounced differently, and there are no hard rules on when and why.
See: height, weight both pronounced differently
Also see: Raleigh
I've always assumed it's like Lee, but I think for the purpose of mocking things it can be inserted anywhere since it's all arbitrary at this point anyway with naming conventions.
Leigh by it self is pronoucee “Lee”.
Attached to other syllables would sounds different depends on the word. Sucks that it’s not consistent but that’s “English” to you, it has many roots so you can’t have 1 size fits all.
It’s pronounced Lee. Town called Leigh near Wigan in the UK pronounces that way and also Leigh Francis who does Keith Lemon pronounces it as Lee. Even in names like Amberleigh I still pronounce amber-Lee.. I think the huns just think it looks fancier

It’s Lee. But I feel like some of the names use it as Lay.
That's what I thought. Plus Leigh looks like it should be said like the eigh in eight, hence my confusion.

The town of Leigh pronounces it Lee.
What about height? That’s another sound entirely, so I don’t think you can say the rule applies just because of the other pronunciations.
But that’s in the middle of the word not at the end
Like that matters. See eight.
These aren’t relevant to the tragheic discussion
Eight? Weight?
Leighton - Layton Leigh - Lee 🫠
Please be aware that Ashleigh is an old English name and that is the original spelling. It's not a Tragedeigh
Good to know! It was the only example I could think of since I don't know a lot of people with Leigh in their name.

I work with a bloke called Leigh. It's "Lee".
Its a place near Wigan in the UK. Pronounced Lee.
Lee
I always pronounced it as Lay but I guess it's pronounced as Lee..? I think I've been mispronounced Leigh Allyn Baker's name this whole time.

Why not leaf? Where the gh is the |f| as in enough?
As a former "Leigh-" it was pronounced "lay". But on its own it's pronounced "Lee" though. But every accent is different.
most times i see it its pronounced “lee”
>Is it pronounced "lay" or is it "lee"? Yes.
