Try again! Loo-she-un

Daffodilwoman · 13/07/2023 21:49

Loo she en.
Kind of. But not a lot of emphasis on the she and not exactly pronounced as ‘she’ but I can’t think of any other way to express it!

Loo see en. Love this name and added it to the guess the name of my 3rd grandchild. Unfortunately it was not the one they chose especially when I mentioned that it was a great vampire name 😂

Fivebeanchilli · 13/07/2023 21:53

But isn't it the name of the devil,?

SiobhanSharpe · 13/07/2023 21:55

That would be Lucifer.

greenspaces4peace · 13/07/2023 21:57

Classic French name, really can’t imagine it with an English accent.

WhereTheSuburbsMeetUttoxeter · 13/07/2023 21:57

Probably end up loo-shien.
