Incredibly beautiful name with a beautiful meaning. In Hebrew it’s pronounced “ahy-EHL-et” but the first vowel isn’t a sound that’s really used in English, so non-Hebrew speakers would pronounce it like “eye”.
The dawn of Ayelet... like opening your eyes to a dew-kissed, sunlight-bathed spring morning. I see the elegant grace of a gazelle in motion, a symphony of fluttering heartbeats and eyes widened with curious wonder. The soft, crunching rustle of leaves under the gazelle's hooves... Ayelet heralds the promise of a new day teeming with vitality and possibility.

It reminds me of eyelet. Pretty name, pretty meaning, it's just all around pretty.
Personally, I pronounce it "eye-YELL-iht", such as "I yell it". Perhaps it's not the "correct" pronunciation (putting the "y" in the second syllable), but it's how I can best say it as an English speaker. This is a much more accurate pronunciation than "eyelet".

Such a lovely, soft, feminine name, I'd use it for my daughter - and I'm not even Jewish. I met a very warm, motherly Israeli woman named Ayelet once. Makes me think of white eyelet lace. I pronounce it like Violet without the V, three syllables.

It should be mentioned that in modern Hebrew Ayelet is a decline of Ayala (Gazelle) which means "Ayala of...". Ayelet is also originated from the phrase "Ayelet Ahavim" (Gazelle of love) from Proverbs 5:19.
