It is pronounced "POORU". (Consonants are pronounced more or less the same way as in English. "U" sounds like oo in hook, but with less rounding of the lips. "O" sounds like o in old. Double vowels like "OO" are held for twice the duration of single vowels.)

Go here to see what your name sounds like:
