Sort of dumb question: How do you pronounce "Crea"?
I just noticed that I've never heard how that name is pronounced. Is it: Cray--ah, Cree-a like in the word "creative", or is it another way?

So I'll just make sure to never ever say "Crea!"

Actually, I always thought it was "Cray-Ah" but its probably "Ku-ray-ah" or whatever, the japanese pronunciation.

Head hurts! LoL!

Try to find the Honda CREA CMs and listen to the way it is pronounced there. But anyway, it's more like "Cray--ah".

Ah! I used to have one a long time ago! A friend burned me a disc with all sorts of Ayu stuff, but sadly, I lost it.

but that is like "cree" it doesn't make sense, if it a Japanese word (which I am assuming it is) I SHOULD be pronounced "cu-re-a"

That statement makes no sense. First of all, its not a japanese word. It's made up of english letters.

Japanese style word: Kanariya

English style word: Crea

If it were to be pronounced in english, it would be most likely pronounced "cree-ah" and not "cree" Because ... english just isn't like that at all. But if she pronounces it as ku ray ah then thats how it is. Although its probablly more like kraya, they just have a hard time dropping the "u."
