Help[Facts] Re: The pronunciation of Leigh
in reply to a message by Ylva
Not that I've ever heard, on British TV or from British relatives.
From what I've seen/heard, it appears that the usual pronunciation is LEE, but that a few individuals here and there decide to pronounce it LAY (possibly because it is or was intended as a nickname for Leighton, which is pronounced LAY-ton).
