Question About the Name Louis
for everyone who is named louis, are all of their names always pronounced as loo-ii, or are their names sometimes pronounced as loo-iss?

Re: Question About the Name Louis

I'm gonna make the video gamer move
and say that since Left 4 Dead, 'Louis' has been loo-iss and since Pikmin 2, 'Louie' has been loo-ii. |
