First time most people had ever heard of this name was the Paul and Barry Ryan song and they sang El-low-eez

iklboo · 20/01/2019 12:31

Like in the song by Paul and Barry Ryan. (extremely old ☺️)

I prefer the version by The Damned 😄

ThanksItHasPockets · 20/01/2019 12:23

Oops, sorry - my ‘lo’ autocorrected to a ‘loo’.

Eh-lo-eez.

ThanksItHasPockets · 20/01/2019 12:16

Eh-loo-eez. The original French has a diaeresis on the i (Éloïse) to show that the two vowels make two separate sounds, ‘oh’ and ‘ee’.

Thesnobbymiddleclassone · 20/01/2019 12:11

El-o-wees

ELoEEEZ

BramRang · 20/01/2019 11:23

El-ooh-ease. The difference between the "ooh" and "ow" sound that posters are describing doesn't exist in my accent, though. Girl I knew from Surrey with the name definitely pronounced it with an "Looh" sound in the middle, much like Louise.

dementedpixie · 20/01/2019 10:57

How do you say 'o' then if not 'oh'?

tammytoby · 20/01/2019 10:53

And definitely not Loo in the middle Shock

tammytoby · 20/01/2019 10:53

Ell o eese

So neither Low or Oh in middle.

dementedpixie · 20/01/2019 10:52

Ell oh ease

3boysandabump · 20/01/2019 10:50

Ell oh wheeze
