I would pronounce the last syllable like Anne, since that is the rule of double consonants. And if they tried to correct me, I would keep doing it and say "Oh gosh, it's just hard to kick the habit when I know I am right."
My daughter is Ryann pronounced like Ryan and named after her 90 year old great grandma who came from Wales to America when she was 16. I guess her parents got the trend memo from the future. Let it go, let it go.....

The only -leigh name that I like is ... Leigh ... on it's own ... by itself ... everything else makes me think of horses and I don't know why. maybe because horses neigh?
