HelpI love it.

But I'd pronunce the good old fashioned American way--so that it sounded exactly like the word "clawed"--since that's how my...great-great-uncle, I think? Well, that's how he would've pronunced his name had I known him.
I'm a student of the French language, though, and I wouldn't describe the French pronunciation as sounding like "cloud" (assuming I'm understanding your pronunciation, which is written a bit ambiguously) though. More like something in between "clohd" (oh as in "soap") and "cluhd."

ETA: Forgot a few necessary words.
O come, all ye Grateful
Deadheads to the concert.
O come, Grateful Deadheads,
And camp in the street.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

That's more how I would prn it as well. I think it's difficult to accurately represent the nasal vowel sound in writing without the help of the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), but no one really uses it, so nevermind. :)
It's not my style, but I like it. I think it's charmingly old-fashioned and wouldn't mind seeing a revival in the vein of Edith and Matilda.
Magnanimous Despair alone could show me so divine a thing, where feeble hope could ne'er have flown, but vainly flapped its tinsel wing.
