Inès

[lfdsa]

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.

I love it

Although in the UK it is usually said In-ess I think, so you’d have to be happy with that.

Although this was my first thought to (and the Ines on MAFS was vile!) I think it's quite a nice name but I think pronounced In-ess is much nicer than Ee-nez.

I love it, it's gorgeous. Was on my list but DH felt it would be strange to use as we have no French/Spanish/Portuguese ancestry; however sometimes DD's name (Enid) gets misheard as Ines. 😆

I'm Portuguese so it's a normal name to me, but here in Scotland people would assume it's a boy's name.

Beautiful name

The boys name Innes sound different to my ear. Also a lovely name.

Inn iss for the boys name En nez for the Turks name.

We’re in SW London. Lots of French families and many other European nationalities too, very few completely English families. It’s funny how you get pockets sometimes, when we lived in the states I used to take my eldest to a baby group where 3 out about 10 babies were called Quinn which I thought was the strangest too!

Turks don’t know where that came from thank you phone, girls name.

This ^

Very classy.

I'm not surprised you're in SW London - that's the only place in the UK I can think of that would have so many girls called Inès!

So perhaps my conclusion should be it’s a great name (I do really like it!) but keep in mind that if you live in SW London it’s very possible you’ll get duplicates at nursery/school.

I think its a beautiful name. We live in Portugal and its a relatively common ish name here. My best friends daughter is Inês

It’s lovely, so elegant. We have a very stylish friend with a daughter called Ines and she was recently telling me she got asked so many times where the name came from and why she chose it she decided to create an Italian Granny 😆Hopefully you live in a less insular area!

@BernadetteIsMySister 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
basicccc

I love it, gorgeous name

I have a Scottish male friend called Innes.

Beautiful.

Love this name - so elegant and cool.

Absolutely love it.

@BernadetteIsMySister my thought too. And she wasn't very nice

It was on my list but I didn't like the meaning 'pure'. I do think it's lovely though, I'm just not a fan of virtue names.

Yes absolute cow

Had a lovely classmate Ines. She was German.
