El-loo-weeeeeeeeeeeeze.
Like the song. And my niece!

Jsmith99 · 21/01/2019 22:15

Ell-oh-eeze.

3 distinct syllables, the middle one of which is definitely ‘oh’ not ‘oo’.

Like the song.

DramaAlpaca · 21/01/2019 22:41

I can't be bothered to try to write it out phonetically, so I'm just going to agree with everyone who said it's like the Damned song.

Like Louise, but “Eh” first. Like The Damned song.

SweetbutAPsycho · 22/01/2019 22:42

Eh-Lou-ease

Weirdly had three in my secondary school class. Both El-o-weez

ninalovesdragons · 22/01/2019 22:49

Meant both because one was known was Ellie

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 22/01/2019 22:52

El oh EASE

JaiNotJay · 22/01/2019 22:55

Am I the only person who would say Eh-loice? E as in egg, to rhyme with voice. I genuinely thought that was how it was pronounced. I'm not too good with phonetics, so apologies if I've missed this pronunciation further up the thread.
