I always said "AINZ-lee" but I knew that couldn't be right. :/

I say it like that. The one and only Ainsley I've met says it like that. I'm sticking with it.

Toronto, Canada, for the record - I know this changes regionally.

I've known three Ainsleys. They've ALL pronounced it that way - AINZ-lee.
