Hmmm. My pronunciation has always been "GREY-ee-us ... grey-EYE-us? ... well, anyway, Grey ..." Which is a bit polysyllabic. Then again, it wasn't until Hermione mocked Viktor's pronunciation of her name (in, like, HP book four) that I learned I was mispronouncing it mentally, so there you go. Mental pronunciation remapping, commence!
