    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
