Okay here goes!
To create the sound 'ei' or 'ay', two characters are required. え=e as in egg, and い=i as in igloo. えい or 'ay' is the only sound these two characters in this order can produce.
To get the sound 'ih' or 'ee' as in 'free', いい are the only two characters that can produce this sound.
And to get the sound 'eh' as in 'air', ええ are the only two characters that can be used.
Hope this helped????

click on the music note and listen to hear name
listen to how the "ei" is together in her first name, but seperate in her middle
Now I`ve got the words or name to work with it`ll be easier!
With her first name the characters used are 'soft sounding' double phonics.
れ＝le or re, and せ=se. The 'い' is sandwiched between the two and so we get 'Raysay' and finished with ん = n as pronounced in nut, net etc NOT 'en'. And pronounced 'Raysen'. This word is naturally easy to pronounce. It rolls off the tongue you could say!?
Her middle name is pronounced differently because the 'strong sounding' double phonic げ=ge as in 'get' is used, followed by the strong sounding single phonic い and lastly the strong sounding single phonic ん. This is pronounced 'ge/ee/n'. Each character is strong sounding, so extra emphasis is required and therefore the い stands out more and sounds different.
Good luck buddy!

ei and ay are the same essentially. Say "ay" slowly and you can hear the "eehhhhiiii". The difference between the sound in the two names is all based on emphasis. I cant really think of an English equivalent right now...
Oh god Japanese sucks. I'm looking to learn it after I've finished learning spanish. It's such a backasswards language. Beautiful though, good people. My dad lived there for a bit, used to be pretty good at it. aaaaand I'm done derailing.....
There is no single 'ay' character. So depending on what い is coupled with the pronunciation will change!
And the very best of luck to you Camshaft your gonna need it
"Backasswards" that`s a cool word!
