I take issue with the options of "RAY-ghex" and "RAY-jeks." In my experience you can say either "REH-ghex" or "REH-jeks."

Reg like regular, from whence it comes. Regular Expression.

Vegan came from vegetarian. Signatory came from sign. When you alter spelling enough, people assume general pronunciation rules.

Since regex ultimately comes from Latin and has a g followed by an e, pronouncing it with a soft g is rather natural.
