Does anyone know the real pronunciation?

Edit: I'm 100% sure it's "Car-lyle" now. That's how Stephenie Meyer says it. xd

The S in Carlisle is silent(i'm 90% positive about these pronunciations!)
so it's CAR-LIE-UL
and Esme is ES-MAY
or
ES-ME
like its spelled.
Carlisle...that pronunciation is popular for when he would've been bored and the area he would've been brought up in. Thats why I'm thinking that. I could be as wrong as the next person though.

I used to just skip over Carlisle's name, but after reading about half of Twilight I got annoyed so I looked it up and now I"m pretty sure I pronounce it the correct way. Car-lyle..

I think it's supposed to be pronounced Car-lyle but I say Car-lee-sl instead...

As for Esme, I say it as Ez-mei.
