I agree. I much prefer Ree-or-den or Rye-or-den even though they're incorrect.

The pronunciation isn't attractive.

You're right -- https://www.bookbrowse.com/... -- but this is really unusual! The correct pronunciation and the one used by most people with this name is REAR-den -- http://www.forvo.com/word/r...

I'm pretty sure the author of the Percy Jackson books pronounces this (his last name) Rye-or-den?

This is actually quite cool, but I probably wouldn't use it.
