El-o-wees

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’.

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

FluffyMcCloud · 20/01/2019 12:20

My friends daughter is Eloise pn Eh-Louise like Eh-loo-WEEZE

ThanksItHasPockets · 20/01/2019 12:23

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

Eh-lo-eez.

It’s a lovely name, we’ve got a DD with that name.

FlagFish · 21/01/2019 06:45

El-loo-ise. I know two girls with this name and they both pronounce it that way.

ReaganSomerset · 21/01/2019 06:46

Ell-oh-eez

RedDwarves · 21/01/2019 08:40

Ell-oh-eez.

You've now had me saying the name out loud multiple times... My friend is called Eloise, I definitely say low more than loo, but it's only a subtle difference when the name is said quickly anyway 😂

starkid · 21/01/2019 15:11

Eh-loo-weeze

tammytoby · 21/01/2019 15:54

But it's not spelt Elooise but Eloise. I'm surprised by the Loo pronunciation.

Sophronia · 21/01/2019 22:10

El-oh-ease

ImportantWater · 21/01/2019 22:11

E Loo Eese
