It looks good but it doesn't look like MA-ree at all to me. I'd say MAYR-ee (like Mary) or maybe MY-ree/MA-EE-REE/somewhere in between.
I would say MAYR-ee.
I love it too. I'm happy when I hear it used-My daughter has a friend named Mairi.
Btw, I see you like the name Indie-there was an article today in our local paper about a woman who birthed her second child on the bathroom floor, assisted by her husband, and she named the baby girl Indie after Indiana Jones, as it had been such an adventurous birth.
I should say, the woman didn't intend for this to happen;her first child had been born after a long labour, and this one took about 4 contractions.

It’s okay, but if I had 100 guesses on pronunciation, MA-ree probably wouldn’t be one of them. I’d guess MAY-ree or MY-ree or my-REE or may-EE-ree or may-EYE-ree or MARE-ee...
Long story short, I think you and Mairi would be explaining the spelling and pronunciation all her life.
