har as in bar, ley is in tree, emphasis on the first syllable (it's irritatingly easy to say "like the motorcycle", but that might not ring a bell for everyone)

i was born with a different name, Donaghy, which is an immigration office perversion of O'Donough, i think, so it may not matter how it is pronounced, but sometimes i wish i had it back

here in my neighborhood there are streets named for Native American tribes; Galapago street is typically pronounced "_gal_ uh *pay* go" and Acoma is pronounced "a (as in 'that') *coe* muh"; i try to pronounce them right (i've been to Acoma Pueblo, but i've never been to the Galapagos) and it seems to creep people out

... so here's another question -- what does your name mean? i've been told that harley = hare + leigh ~= "bunny meadow"
