What are your honest thoughts about the name Inès? What comes to mind when you hear it - what connotations?

I am French but my husband is English, btw. We live in the UK.
It would be pronounced Ee-nez.

Thank you.

Sounds gorgeous and ages well (ie suits a little girl, a teen and a grown woman!)

Pretty name but people would assume it was Spanish and it would always be pronounced wrong.

I like it.

I went to school with an Inez. She wasn't the nicest girl on the planet but the name is cool.

I taught a lovely boy with that name. I've always liked it

I love the name it’s simple and beautiful.

I would also assume Spanish

SertralineAndTherapy · 19/03/2023 15:45

I would probably assume that it's Spanish and spell it either Inés or Inez, which might be an issue?

Rauha · 19/03/2023 15:44

It's beautiful

Lostmarblesfinder · 19/03/2023 15:43

Absolutely love it. I know one ROI no problem pronouncing.

Orcubed · 19/03/2023 15:42

I love it, was on my list

JupiterFortified · 19/03/2023 15:42

I like it. A little quirky but not too out there. Makes me think of someone arty.
