...the Spanish name "Ruy"?
I frequently come across it in my readings and have yet to hear it said out loud.
Yeah, I know. Silly post. But not necessarily non-film related. What if I wanted to name a character Ruy?

Wouldn't it be "ROO-eee"? Don't forget to roll the R. The natives love that.

Haven't a clue. Reasonable, because of "muy", but...just wanna be sure.
Have the same trouble with the French "Guy", but I do know how that's pronounced.

Since you're German...the vowels (uy) are like German 'Sie', and the G is like 'go' in English...

He lives in Germany but hails from New Jersey (errr... sumthin' like that).

The same as 'muy' as beforehere stated. Think of Ru Paul.

If it's all the same to you...perhaps not tonight. Vali is counting on an end-of-Summer baby, and that might put it off until sometime in Autumn.
