How do you pronounce "Louis"?

[Minkus]

Is it like Lewis? Or Louie?

I know both!
Europeans tend to pronounce it "lewie" and Americans I've heard pronounce it Lewis

Meet me in St Louis !

my friends ds has this name,she pronounces it as Louie,gets very cross if his called lewis

Pronounced Louie definitely. If you want to pronounce it Lewis, use Lewis

I've heard both, but I know lots of French Louis and one British one and they are all pronounced Louie.

We have a Louis and it is pronounced Louie

louis is the French way - Lewis hte American way.

I would say Lewee is left to my own devices.

Mine is Louie

loo eee

Louis is a French name and so should have the French pronunciation - Lou-ee. But I did know one boy called Lewis (or so I thought) and did a double-take when I saw it written down as Louis.

Mine is Louie pronounced loo eee and she's a girl...just to confuse matters.

I know one of each. I would on balence expect someone who wanted to have their child called Lewis to call them, um, Lewis

Mine is Lou-ee. The correct way.

loo -ee is louis

lewis is erm...lewis

Sorry, the one of each is one pronounced Lewis & one pronounced Louie

I know a Louis who pronounces it Lewis but I prefer the proper way of Lewis and Louis (Louee).

Louis IS Lou ie !
Lewis is lewis.

( a clear note for all the numbskulls who call my DS1 lewis. If I wanted to call him Lewis I farkin well would have called him Lewis !!)

Louie (like the french)

louie

Louie

Thanks all I'd hoped it was Lou-ee but someone confused me the other day when they pronounced it Lewis.

It's now top of my list!

Louis Armstrong used to pronounce his own name Lewis. But he was a Yank

It has to be Louie. If you want Lewis then call them Lewis. I know a Louis who has his name pronounced 'Lewis' and he is constantly having to explain.
