sue

So, like "syoo"? Or like "soo"?

That is, "sue" has the vowel sound "ooh" as in "dew" and "Jew", but does it have a "y" in the pronunciation?

For example, I pronounce "dew" and "due" like "dyoo", but many pronounce it like "doo" (the same as the word "do" - leading to misspellings such as "do to the fact that" which couldn't happen in my accent).

Hmm… I don't detect a 'y' sound in there, the 'ew' sound may include it but then after the vowel. May be I misinterpret it, in any case the name 'Sue' I pronounce 'Soo', but 'to sue' sounds more like 'Soow' than 'Syoo' (which is the sound in 'Shoe', right? Or the 'shyoo' from 'Bayou'?)
