Out of interest, how do you pronounce Ines?

[Psammead]

Is it like INN-iss?

INN-ez?

Wouldn't have thought so, no.

In-EZ. It should have an accent on the E, so the E is stressed.

The one I Know (half spanish) pronounces hers Inn-ess

I thought there was an accent on the e and it was In-yes? Or In-yeth possibly?

In German it's Ee-ness

I thought it was like Eeenz

Like Heinz with a dropped haitch.

In, es short s not a long ssss

EEN-ez

This thread goes to show that whatever the correct pronunciation is........the child will grow up with it being pronounced incorrectly!

in-Ez

In-ez

I read it as eye-ness (doesn't help does it?!)

Its in-esh or in -es or in-ez

In-ez.

Or Inn-iss.

In Scotland it's spelled Innes and pronounced In-iz.

Eenez?

in-iz
and I'd spell it innes

i'd say In- ness for a boy and E- nez for a girl.

the pronunciation doesn't change by gender
innes is nice name

In-ez

If it was Innes, I would pronounce it In-ess

I think it's In-Ez.

If French, then the first syllable is slightly nasal and the vowel is between 'in' and 'an' (it's a mediaeval, romance version of Agnes).

In-ez for Ines, which I think of as a Spanish girl's name, and In-iss for Innes, which I think of as a Scottish boy's name.

In-Ez with an emphasis on the e.
