Question:I think it's OWZ-lee, but I just want to make sure.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I think it's OWZ-lee, but I just want to make sure.

I really think it is "Youse-ley"; or "OOze-ley". The name comes from the river Ouse in England, pronounced Youse or OOze

You are right, it is OWZ-lee... We have an Ousley Jr. High nearby and that is the way it is pronounced by everyone here in Arlington, Texas!!

I think you have the right pronunciation of it.

It can also be Ooz-ley.
so you have a choice :o)
