Looking at it, I would pronounce it like "fuse," but it's your name, pronounce it as you will. How about "foo-zé"?

I say "Fuse". That's how I intended it. It's just a couple of buds at school thought it was Foose and I never realized how widely misconceived the word may be pronounced lol.

If any of your buds thought it should be "Foose", I think they need to retake an English class, or two. j/k

That's exactly what I say. I don't see the logic in getting "foose" out of "Fuze". I mean... z's are commonly placed where s's are. Even my Java programming teacher said Foose when I asked him for kicks, must be a math thing.

there is a Spoken Language now? When did this happen?

Anyways anyway you want it to sound, it is yours. for example there is a city that if i listed I would have to give myself a warning. The name is spelled in such a way it is a very common curse word. Which can be taken many many ways, used in someways isn't always bad. But can be meant to be a bad thing. But I am sure the ppl of that town no longer laugh at it. BTW please dont' list that city below.

BTW they pronoun it differently then the enligh spelling takes it.
