Ever wondered how to pronounce Crye-Leike?

Here are a few attempts I've heard of people pronouncing it incorrectly.

Cree - Leaky

Nothing to do with
leaky faucets

leaky faucet

Cry - eee - Likey

We like you too, but
Leike doesn't rhyme
with Mikey

smiley face

Cree-Lee-Ike

No relation to Ike.

ike

Cry-Lee-Icky

Ewwww, we're not icky

baby sticky face

So, how do you pronounce Crye-Leike?

Cry-Like

I've heard people say this... You'll be so happy working with us that you will Cry-Like a baby when the deal is done. If you are curious how Crye-Leike got its name check out this article - The Telephone Company Story that Named the Firm

Very cute. I can see his red hair. I love red hair just because it isn't common. And look at those killer big eyes! I think it must be tradition to let all one year-olds get cake all over themselves. We have pictures like that too!

Hi Angie,

I had to come over here to see what you did. This is really cute.

Believe it or not, I figured it was probably pronounced cry like the first time I saw it. Mostly because I figured it looked so complicated it had to be easy. :)
