ans-lee is the only way i've ever heard it (the first syllable rhymes with fans)

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.

Oh good, then maybe I'm not wrong. XD I don't know any.

AINS (like pains)-lee. Stress on the first syllable.

Ainsley Harriott (http://www.jeremyhicks.com/ainsleyharriott/biog.htm) says Aynz-lee, and I wouldn't dare argue with a big man who carries sharp knives... :-)
