If you search the IGI for Continental Europe at www.familysearch.org, you'll see that most of the records are French, although there are a few Belgian and Dutch (from The Hague) as well. A quick searchin the IGI for the British Isles brings up lots of records for the name Loye in many different counties in England, and also lots for Loy (without the e) in Ireland and Scotland.
