Name pronunciation

I don't think the pronunciation guide for the town name is very clear; perhaps it should say something like "rhymes with eye"...

Its pronounced Clay, to rhyme with pray, Cly (rhyming with eye) is an affectation of middle-class incomers from London and the like —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.155.220.92 (talk) 23:05, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

I visited the other week and everyone (including bus drivers and locals) pronounced the Cley as /ˈklaɪ/ to rhyme with eye. Any thoughts on a source that could be used to clarify this? Abergabe (talk) 09:02, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Yes the unsigned and anonymous comment is nonsense, I've been to Cley more than 100 times, and never heard it pronounced other than to rhyme with eye. Are there any -ey words that rhyme with pray? Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:18, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Link to BBC

I do not understand why the link to the video of Cley Next the Sea on BBC One cannot be inserted. This was a great achievement for the village and deserves recognition. (86.53.67.133 (talk) 10:21, 8 November 2011 (UTC))

Name derivation

Not to challenge the primary Anglo-Saxon derivation, but should not the similarity of the name to Welsh lle "place" and its presumed British forebear be noted? Diomedea Exulans (talk) 12:53, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
