Friend has had a baby girl - Anaïs.
Lovely name, but they pronounce it Annay, and not An-eye-ees.
I saw it written down before I heard them say it, and said “I love the name Anaïs” to the grandmother (also my friend). She told me that that’s not how it should be pronounced.
Should I explain what a diaeresis is for?
