It depends on the region, but yes, sol-vay (mainly Sweden I think) and sol-vie (like eye) are the common pronunciations in Sweden and Norway. SOOL-vie (like eye still) is also a Norwegian pronunciation. I do know that some in Norway also say sol-vay as well, including my cousins. Not entirely sure about the other regions of Scandinavia.

Solveig is my middle name! For simplicity in English and because of my Norwegian family members' pronunciation, I say sol-vay.
