Got it from Yaniece Thomas, Tyra Banks' stylist. Pronounced yah-NEESE.

What do you think of this for a mixed race child (black, white, bit of Chinese)?

I know it sounds a bit ghetto but oh well.

Is it a girl's name? Is the equivalent male name Yanephew? Won't it cause confusion?

i can't say it's to my taste, but if you and your partner love it then use it!

PMSL & Quattro.

It is way too ghetto for my tastes, but if you love it...!

Yanephew
Yajoking?

ROFL at Yajoking. Wish I'd thought of that ...

Actually the name is fine. Got carried away by two glasses of wine

Mmm. I don't really like it because it sounds like a cross between Denise and Janice, neither of which I like. Agree that a child with such an exotic heritage needs a gorgeous exotic name, but this, for me, really isn't it. Of course, if you love it...ignore what everyone says.

Agree with LT.

I think it sounds lovely, but am not keen on the spelling.

Ther's always the French "Anise".
