How is this name pronounced? Thank you.Organization is for people too lazy to spend three hours looking for something.

Since it is a French name, the stress is in the LAST syllable*. Then [elo'is] (ay-lo-EES) and not ['elois] (EH-lo-ees).*As all and any French words and names.

It's kind of hard to describe in English, but it would be kind of like EH-lo-ees.Edit: I googled it and found this:

That should help more.

EH-lo-eez. For practical purposes, identical with Eloise.
