How do you pronounce...?

[catherinemoses]

Louis?
I think it is Loo-is (like Lewis but I don't really like that spelling!) but I'm a bit worried that it might be Loo-ie (Like Louie the fly!)
So what do you think.
Am I concerned over nothing? I don't want to look like a dill pronouncing it louis if the rest of the world thinks it should be louie!!!
TIA

I would say Loo-ie.
If you want Loo-is I would spell it Lewis

[jackrose]

I would pronounce Louis as Louie.

I always understood it to be pronounced Louie...

MMM that's what I was afraid of...sigh!

very cute, a little different and quite regal!!
