It's Rhy-mer. It's a Mennonite name of German origin, and that's how it's pronounced.

What the hell's a Mennonite?

If you didn't know, Reimer means someone that rhymes.

Ok, duh.

Mennonites.

My dad got kicked out of the Mennonite community when he left to sign up to fly with the Navy, since they were ultra-pacifists and the military, even though my dad only served in peacetime, is not. However, in the last years of his life, they accepted him again back into the community (despite the fact that he had become an atheist by this time).
