Re: Louis
I'd guess that that Americans who learned about the name as pronounced by Mr. Jagger first read it as "Louie" (as in Huey, Dewey, and Louie).

i actually hear it as 'mister kway' which is probably wrong on several levels but oi who's keeping score
In my Britisher town there is a tapas bar called Que Pasa, and whenever I am on a bus which goes past it there are inevitably Spanish people on the bus who point at it and say "Kway Pasa!" and laugh hysterically, leaving me wondering if the "kway" is a hilarious mockery of English accents or is actually some feature of the Spanish language I was previously unaware of
but I guess it is the former really otherwise the humour is lost on me too
"Q" and "Hooss" (or if you will "Huice"), anyway

why someone would spell something que but pronounce it q is a strange and troubling question to me.
