If I had to guess, I'd say, "jay-MEE-lee-uh" and silently wish the parents had gone with gorgeous Jamila ("jah-MEE-luh") instead.

Well, Jayme is pronounced like Jamie, so I would say Jamie-Leah. Jame-Lee also comes to mind, but that seems odd.Not a fan of it really. Jayme Lea would have been better, preferably Jamie Leah, but smooshing them together just doesn't work.

Wow, I don't know. At first I thought it was a kree8iv spelling of Jamila, but now I see the Jayme and the Lea, and I'm not sure. However it's pronounced, I don't like it. Too "alphabet salad" for my tastes.

Lol, oh wow. Yeah, it's probably Jayme-Lee. But that's not what I saw when I first looked at it. I was saying Jay MEL-ee-uh. Yikes. Maybe I need coffee.

I think it's Jamie Lee. I kind of like it but not spelled like that!
