I concur with Leon on the pronunciation. That is how I was used to hearing it when growing up in SE Texas and that is how my grandmother and g-grandmother pronounced Lu ziana. They were from Sabine and Nachitoches Parishes. I think the others are acceptable, but only natives can say "lousy ana" and even they better smile if they do.
