No. If you pronounce each letter separately, you get:

O pronounced as, "Aw" as it is in the word "Hot"

and U pronounced "Oo" as it is in the word "Tube"

Put them together and you have "Ah-Oo" and the 'r' at the end and it becomes, "Aw-oo-er" Say it at normal speed and it comes out, "Our", which is the correct way to say "Our". (Not "ow-er")
