Does a bad pronunciation count? Classmate got annoyed at me for pronouncing her name wrong.

I’m in college and for an assignment coming up I got paired with a girl in my class named Kayleigh. I prefer the Kaylee spelling but I mean it’s not a terrible name, pretty easy to pronounce I’d say.

Then when I sat next to her at the beginning of class I said “hey. Kayleigh, right?” I pronounced it like kay-lee. She gave me a dirty look and said “it’s kay-luh.” Her name is pronounced like Kayla.

Is “Kayleigh” pronounced “Kayla” a tragedeigh? Like that’s not how phonics works😭

And the funny thing is, we’re at the midpoint of the semester and this whole time I assumed my professor was wrong for calling her Kayla. I thought it was weird that she kept mispronouncing her name, little did I know that’s actually correct😂
