Not for proper nouns they don’t. Just because you pronounce my name taylor doesn’t mean you’re right. I get to decide how to pronounce my name, not you.
Both pronunciations are acceptable because different people pronounce it different ways. That’s how language works. Eventually one or the other pronunciation may win out as so few people pronounce it any other way. We’re not anywhere near that point yet.
You’re assuming “the public” has reached a uniform consensus, which it certainly hasn’t.
Your argument is like a politician saying “people love me, they say I’m the best.” It’s an appeal to an abstract entity as a placeholder for your own opinion.
Even if you had data backing up your claim, that would still be an appeal to popularity, which is a logical fallacy.

The public decides. That’s how language works. It’s Gif with a hard G.

whatever you need to tell yourself Just take the L (which you probably pronounce as Û) and go back to bed.
Dictionaries are correct, you’re not. 💪😘
So close.
99.9999…% = 100 % so yeah. You also need to take the L :)
Lif? Ew, no.
