how would you pronounce this?

My grandmother's name is Raymonde. I'd like to put (part of) her name as my daughter's middle name. I was thinking we'd go with something like:
Everlee Raya Marie
I would like it to be pronounced Ray-ya, but I'm not sure if people would say it like that. What do you think? Any other ways of putting my grandma's name in there?

I would say it Ray-uh....is that how you would want it?

Great! That's exactly what I would want. Thanks!

 

[SammieGrace]

good! I think it is quite pretty and a very nice thought to use your grandma's name

I would pronounced it Ray-uh too. If you were concerned you could have Rae as an alternative?

 

[xSarahM]

I'd say it exactly how its spelt, Ray-a. I guess it depends on accents?
Good luck

There is a Finnish girls name spelt Reija, but its pronounced Ray-uh as well. I like it, very nice
