How would you pronounce the name Kyriay?

That's right, folks. That is a name. A girl I work with has two daughters:

Mallaurie Ahlexus (pronounced Mallory Alexis) and Teishauna Kyriay.

*shudder*

I only know their full names from her facebook profile. I am dying to find out how she pronounces Kyriay but don't know how to ask. So I turn to you. Any guesses?

With Mallaurie Ahlexus I want to shift the emphasis so that it's pronounced Mah-LAUR-ee AH-lex-us. Just because it's spelled so weirdly.

I'm also guessing Kyriay would be pronounced like Kear-ee-ay.

Agreed...I always read Mallaurie as M'LOR ee. It's a crying shame.

Why couldn't she name them Mallory Alexis and (blanking on a normal way to spell Teishauna) Kyrie?
