While some English speakers might read this a "moose" or "moos" (as in the sound a cow makes), it is in fact said with the strong O sound of "boat" or "nose". A popular choice in the Netherlands, where it ranked at #35 in 2024, it is a short form of Mozes, the Dutch form of Biblical Moses, and has been notably borne by Olympic boxer, Moos Linneman. 
 
From its German origins, Moos may also be considered a word name, translating literally to "moss". In this case it would still be pronounced closer to MOS than moose, but with the German O sound, which leans slightly towards the sound in Sea or Shawn. However, Moos is more likely to appear as a surname than a given among German speakers.
