Ines / Inez

[namexhange]

Thoughts on this for a girl? TIA

I like it and prefer the spelling Ines

I like it

Ines, and variants, is a feminine given name related to Agnes. The most common form Inés is Spanish, and also Galician. The Portuguese form is Inês; the French, Moroccan and Tunisian form usually Inès.

Also how would you pronounce it? Thanks

Greek Meaning: The name Inez is a Greek baby name. In Greek the meaning of the name Inez is: Poor, pure, or chaste. St. Agnes was a 3rd century Christian martyr whose January 21st feast day is described in Keats' poem 'The Eve of St Agnes'.

Ee-NES

Lovely name but loses its loveliness somewhat when said in non Spanish accents.

don't like it.looks like slang term innit.

I like it - I would say it "Ee-nez" and spell it with a Z

I'm not keen tbh, unless you happen to be Spanish & can say it correctly. I don't think it's a name that translates well.

Adore!

It’s my baby girl pick, 15 weeks here. M We’re going for the z at the end. I don’t have another name.

I would spell it Ines (like de la Fressange) and pronounce the French way.

Really like it.

Oh no sounds like anus..

Ines was my grandmother's name. She pronounced it "eye-niss". She was born and lived in North America, which might explain the difference in pronunciation.

The French way is EE nes.

The Spanish is ee NESS.

(Caps = when emphasis falls).

So you need to decide which pronounciation you prefer. Personally I would spell it with the relevant accent depending on which pronunciation you choose - so grave for French Inès, acute for Spanish Inés.

I prefer the French, and it’s the best known in the U.K.

Love! I slightly prefer Ines, which I’d say “ee -NES”

I have a Jamaican friend who pronounces her name I-nez just to confuse things further
