I love the name Kaori and its meaning, but does anyone know how to pronounce it? I know you don't pronounce it KAY-or-ee.

The usual international transcription system from Japanese is that vowels are pronounced as in Italian and consonants as in English. So, in Kaori there would be open "a" and "o" sounds, and "i" is pronounced "ee".

It's kah-oh-ree, with all syllables equally stressed.
