I don't really like it. How about the similar sounding Remei 'reh may'?

Reveille actually rhymes with "heavily"

But I do like Remei! That one's new to me so thank you!

It's French, and then it's pronounced re-VAY.

But I don't live in France. I'm not contesting the French pronunciation but in English it rhymes with "heavily" and in America anyone familiar with the word would likely pronounce it like so.
