What's in a name?

Dutch is a difficult language with strange combinations of letters.

I understand it is for a foreigner difficult to pronounce properly.

So here is a little help for the pronunciation of my name :) LOES

It is quit odd, even the voice sounds like my voice! But I didn't make the recording :)

It's the upper one:)

Great! Now I'll say it right when we meet in person :). I thought it would be pronounced like the name "Lois". Thanks for clarifying that.

Hi Debbie, see you in Vegas:)

Thanks, Loes. You had told me once before and that sounds like I say your name. :)

I know, Aaron (mvcboy) gave me this website:)

I use it a lot for my Irish pronunciation. :)

Hi Loes! -

How are you?

It's funny - when I say Loes - it's totally different from the right way it is pronounced.

But in my head - what I say sounds right! :)

Haha, all over the world people are now trying to say my name, I realize now:)

I just said it properly then! :)

It sounds beautiful Loes, names in many native languages can be difficult. Irish names confuse many people too.

That's right Con

I thought it was "loos" but it's more like "loosh". Have I got it right?

more like the verb to lose, with a short S at the end

Ha, ha! I was saying it almost correctly only because I had a Dutch boyfriend one time and spent quite a bit of time in Holland! I was hard pronouncing the 's' and now will say it with a soft 's' like a 'c'! Thank's Loes that's cleared that up! Have an amazing day! :)

Hi Janice, then you know how difficult Dutch is, have a wonderfull day too:)

Yes the only word(s) I know in Dutch apart from dag, and tot ziens is "cosy" but I can't spell that... so will have to look it up! gezellig!

dag, tot ziens! :D

Fijne avond Janice:)

Very sweet sounding name Loes. Thanks for leading me to Forvo site, I can check now how difficult foreign names are pronounced. God bless you.

Love your name too, Presentacion

Cool, easy pronunciation.

When you knot it:) it is easy Andrew

Thanks I was wondering how it sounds.

Hi John, now you know:)

That sounds very nice and not what I expected :))

Thanks, I think there are much more like you who don't expect this pronunciation:)
