HelpRe: Leigh vs Lee - ETA
in reply to a message by LMS
I've never thought of it (Leigh "Lee") as weird.
Raleigh is pronounced like lee. Maybe it's an Old English thing. (ETA: according to wiktionary, the Old English spelling was "leah", and in Middle English, there were a few different versions, including "lei" and "legh").
I've never met a Leigh who pronounced it "lay". It does look like it should rhyme with sleigh, though.
