How to pronounce Crea?

An odd and probably stupid question I know!

Is it like "Cur-ey-uh"? or "Cree-uh"? My boyfriend and I are getting a new puppy soon and we're probably naming it after Ayu's dog Crea.

Yes I've been pronouncing it like "Cur-ey-uh" because that's how it'd sound in Japanese too, right?

Crea in Japanese would be "kurea" so pronunctiation would be like Neo said. Or coo-lay-ah I guess, if the heritage dictionary listed it. ^^
