I live in the US, and I pronounce it "mo-REES". I don't think pronouncing it like
Morris
makes sense.

Well, if you think of
Alice
and
Maurice
then it does make more sense, no? I'm in the U.S. and pronounce it the same way you do. But I can definitely see
Maurice
's simiarlity to
Morris
.
Thanks for the input. Every perspective is valuable. :-)
