Well, the pronunciation given in the database is the French pronunciation. I think when this name is used by Spanish speakers (who are those most likely to give it to daughters) it is normally pronounced in two syllables.

Right...

I've only heard it as LOOR-des

It's LOOR-des in Spanish an loord in French, but in France it's not used as a name AFAIN.

Ditto. I've never heard it (as a name) pronounced the French way.
