I constantly mispronounce it, but I too have been told Guys-Lee

I do the same...

Before being told it was Guys-Lee I would say (and still do, sometimes) Guyzle, like geyser with an -le instead of -er.

I called Geissele and asked them. The lady on the phone, (Ms. Geissele, I think) told me "guys lee".

What's goofy is I've told people and they say, "That can't be right, it has to be "juh sale".

Man, 'dem hard heads are everywhere...

I knew the correct pronunciation (guys-lee) but I didn't like saying that so I call them "ja-zell".

This thread might be the biggest testament to the type of triggers GA makes....

When people blog about proper pronunciation of your last name you know you have reached Rock Star status.

This is the second or third thread I can remember that strictly was about the way you say Geissele:)

When Bill Geissele picks up the phone and announces his name (Guys Lee), you've heard it from the authority how it should be pronounced :p

I'm not so sure I'd call him the expert just because it happens to be his name. After all, John Garand and his descendants never got the hang of pronouncing their surname correctly. :rolleyes:

Always pronounced it "guy SELL lee." *shrug*

Ah well. I'm known for mispronouncing things, like Vltor--I say "OOL tor", even though I lost a bet to a friend who pronounced it "VEL tor" and clinched it when he called their CS over speakerphone.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be (Guys Lee), but I used to say "Ja Zelle" and pronounce it like Gisele Bunchen. I mean, I think many of us subconsciously would rather be thinking of Gisele than Geissele as much as we like to shoot match triggers. Of all the match triggers I've heard of, Geisseles seem to be the most well regarded.
