How do you prononce Louis in Saint Louis Missouri?

Answer:
Unlike the pronunciation of Louisville, KY. the Louis in St. Louis, MO is properly pronounced Louis as in Lewis.
This is the correct pronunciation; however, many have diminuized the name to Louie [Lū-ēē] as in the song "Meet me in Saint Louie, Louie". It has also been further diminuized to just Lou-Saint Lou.
