How do you pronounce 'melee?'

Me personally:

"The sword is a MEE•LEE weapon."
"The thief disappears in the chaotic MAY•LAY!"

But now I'm gonna be all self-conscious about it, and say MAY•LAY until I forget.

I've not seen anything more than assertions that may-lay is the 'correct' pronunciation. Does anyone have 'evidence'?

Personally, I pronounce it 'MEH-lay'. For some reason I think of this as the most French way to pronounce it, it being a word with a French origin (as with coup de grace, pronounced coo de grass [with a short vowel in grass])
