And how would you pronounce it?

I would pronounce it like Anaïs but soften the 's' as there's an 'e' on the end. A bit like the sound of the 's' in 'Japanese'. It doesn't really flow tbh

I love the name Anaïs and would pronounce it as 'A-nay' but I think the French pronunciation is 'An-ays'

I'd pronounce Ann-ace too. Sounds like she'd spend half her life explaining how to pronounce it.

If you can't spell it you probably shouldn't use it, is a good general rule for choosing names.

An eye iss is the only correct pronunciation. The French name has two dots over the i, and when you see that you pronounce the last letter.

So mais (but) is pronounced may, but Moët is pronounced Mow ett.

I’ve never seen it with an e on the end, but I do know that English people pronounce it lots of different ways
Anay
An-eye-eese
An-eye-s
And probably more.
I think the correct (French) pronunciation is the third one.

Yes, it's Anais, no 'e' on the end. An-ny-ees.

GinIsIn · 01/05/2018 11:36

An- eye-eess

fearfultrill · 01/05/2018 11:34

An-ny-ees. But spent Anais. It's French

Watto1 · 01/05/2018 11:32

Ann ace would be how I would pronounce it. I think it's usually spelled without the e though - Anais.

I'd pronounce it as it is written: An-a-ise (emphasis on ise). Nice name.

Never heard/seen the name before, but not really a fan. I would pronounce as A-nase [rhyming with base] or An-ice
