I was at a cafe (Paris) yesterday with an old friend from University when i mentioned baby names, my current obsession, and the name Lux came up (american pronounciation) 'Lucks' which she thought was the most beautiful of all my choices. I admit it is quite nice. When the man behind us, plainly eavesdropping got up to leave and said 'can't you pronounce anything right?' i'm not impressed i'm really not, but somehow 'louks' - the typical european pronounciation just doesn't sound right at all! Does anybody disagree with me?
