The direct romanization of his name is Rai. There's no particular problem with "Lye;" if anything, it's a little bit better than "Ley," since Ley can also be pronounced as "lay," which isn't correct. Likewise, it's possible that Reid's name will be translated as "Raid," since that's how it's pronounced.

The only issue with making his name Lye is that english readers won't realize the naming convention of Gluttony. In Japanese it's clearly Rai, Roi, and Rui, whereas in English it will be something like Lye, Roy, and Louis, so the similarity won't be as noticeable. It's not a big deal either way, though.

The one that REALLY messes with me personally is "metia" being translated as "meteor." Like, why on earth would magical objects be called meteors!?
