I don't believe "lay" is a standard pronunciation of the personal name Leigh. Of course there may be some people who do pronounce it that way.

Etymologically Leigh is the same word as the ending -ley in placenames and surnames like Huntley, Bingley, Hadley. Regardless of historical pronunciation, which is kind of irrelevant in this case, the modern English pronunciation is -lee.
