Is it like INN-iss?

I like queenedith's erudite answer the best.

Thanks! But that's only French. The name is in use, apparently with other pronunciations, elsewhere in Europe. And in Britain, where it isn't indigenous (IYSWIM) you may well get others (plus "ines" to rhyme with 'mines') and I know I would get a bit fed up of pointing out again and again which way it was. But that's just me, others might not mind.
