I?m looking for a strong but feminine name that isn?t Amelia (love it but know three Amelias). What do you think about Anaïs?

well I am clearly a complete and utter moron, I have been saying an ay for ages. Luckily I have never bought the perfume, or discussed it in rl.

I've heard it pronounced uncomfortably close to 'anus' and this was by the baby's loving family. It's a lovely name but maybe have a look at other french names that have a clearer pronunciation for english speakers?

It's pronounced ah-nah-(y)eece. Well, sort of. It's hard to explain.
I've heard of people who pronounce it as annay, which makes me shudder.

I have no idea how to say it . Is it ah-nay-us? My first giggle is that it's anus, but I know it's not how it's said because it's french!

Sweet sickly perfume
Unpronounceable unless you are French.

I actually really like it and a very good alternative to Amelia!
