Largely depends upon whom you talk to. The AEG guys pretty much to a man
pronounced it Watt-lee.

Personally, that made my teeth itch.

I've always been a Wait-lee man myself--as has every instance I've
encountered a spoken pronunciation of the name.

Like at last year's annual Innsmouth Beachside Barbeque.
