Jim is pretty close in his approximation of the pronunciation as kee-rye, with the accent on the first syllable. You could also write it as "keer-aay". Definitely don't pronounce the "l", as it is part of the Hungarian letter "ly", which is pronounced like the "y" in yes. The "i" is pronounced like the "ee" in bee. The "R" is slightly rolled, like pronounced in "rarely ever". Hope this helps :)
