How is the name supposed to be pronounced? It looks like the two English words hunt and lie which doesn't sound very nice.

I think he meant Huntly, but unfortunately, we Indians have our own idiosyncratic way with English. The founder/builder is Indian (I'm Indian, and I know).

Lie for lee though? That would make me read it like लिए / लिये
