I've seen several pronunciations of Sarai and I'm not sure which is correct or the most acceptable. They're sur-EYE, Suh-RYE, ser-ie, saw-rye-ee and sur-ay. Which do you like best?
And I'm not sure how it would sound with Baker. Opinions?
Sarai?

According to behindthename.com, Sarai is pronounced SER-ie. Sarai means "my princess" in Hebrew. Sarai Baker sounds good together. I think that it would depend on the middle name too.

I pronounce it Ser-eye or Suh-rye.
But there's not much different in these pronunciations due to my accent.

Thanks guys. Behind the name is normally where I check for pronunciations but it was the only one who had the SER-ie so I wanted to double check. I also asked on nameberry and most people said they say it suh-rye which doesn't bother me. I'll have to think up middle names during school today and come back with them.
