So how do you pronounce Loius?
Louis is written in different forms – Louis, Louie, Lewis, Luis or Lois. The French name means "renowned warrior" and is pronunced Loowee. Metro UK notes that, since Prince William's middle names is Louis and it is pronounced as "Loowee" so it was it is safe to say that his son's will be pronounced in the same way.
