Pri say is

Yes, Pris-ay-is. It's Greek, I think. From the Iliad, maybe?

It'll be Priss-AY-iss. It's a Greek name - there's a character in the Iliad called Briseis (with the umlaut) and it's not unusual for labial consonants like P and B to wander a bit.

I'm late to this, but agree with the Priss-AY-iss pronunciation. I think it's a beautiful name.

Wow that is a gorgeous name!
