What is the proper pronunciation of this name?

I'm calling someone whose name is Xu.

How do I say this name? I'm thinking it's pronounced either "Sue" or "Zoo"...maybe "Shue"?

Anyone? HELP!

Re: What is the proper pronunciation of this name?

I met several people in China with this last name and it was pronounced "Shu" (almost like "Shoe"). However, it could be pronoucned differently by different people and/or different cultures.

I would probably pronounce is "shu" and if necessary they will correct you.

I asked the guys at work who have names like this in their family.

X=S

They said XU= Su, sounds like SUE
