As a name in general, loo-ee. If we’re talking about St. [name_m]Louis[/name_m], loo-iss. :slight_smile:

I prefer the loo-ee pronunciation but instinctively say loo-is!

[name_m]Louis[/name_m] = [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] by default
[name_u]Louie[/name_u] would end in the ee sound

Actually you might poke fun at [name_m]Louis[/name_m] by saying it lou-ee here :joy:

[name_f]My[/name_f] instinct would be loo-ee but loo-is wouldn’t surprise me
