I have a ten year old daughter called Anais we say uh-nay or An-ay. Have a lot of probs wiv this name. I didn't want to prounounce it the french way and I didn't spell it that way either. If honest I think people just think I'm not very well educated and say it wrong. Its a beautiful name but be warned you will have a life time of correcting people how ever you choose to say it.

My daughter is named Anais. (pronounced Anay to rhyme with 'away'). If it is pronounced anay-is it must have a diacritical mark over the i. In French the accent tr❤️ma ❤️ (dier'sis or umlaut) can be on an E, I, or U. It is used when'two vowels are next to each other and both must be pronounced, e.g., na❤️ve, Sa❤️

My name is Anais and I love it! I didn't think much of it when I was younger, then when I realized no one had a name like mine, I hated it. I'm 18 now and I've come to appreciate the fact that I'm not a Brittnay or Asia or some other cookie cutter name. And my name is also pronouced ahn-i-ees

My name is also Anais and i really think its beautiful. It has a lovely meaning and a very nice sound. I originally lived in the US and always had to correct people about the pronunciation of my name, but now i live in Mexico and everyone here naturally say it correctly and they all say how beautiful my name is. I wouldn't change it for anything.

My two middle names are Anais and Ambrose, Anais being the first. My parents always pronounced it ANAY, as when they found the name it was French, and there is no S in the French alphabet (so I'm told). I think that pronunciation is the prettiest, but when I've found other Anais' online, none of them have ever said it my way. I might use it for my daughter, in which case it would be ANAY.

It's a gorgeous name when pronounced correctly. My mind is kind of blown at how many people think It's pronounced "Annay". I suppose I can understand the appeal of the'softer'sound, but maybe spell it differently to avoid confusion/embarrassment❤️

+We named our daughter Anais-with a double dot (diacritic) over the i. We pronounce it Anna-eese. Some people have trouble with it but I don't care-they will learn and I think it is a beautiful name.

I named my second daughter Anais, pronounced AH NIGH ISS, and we also get many complements for this name. But many people mispronounce it if they read it before being told the pronounciation. I think it is a beautiful name!

My name is Anaïs and i really like it! I used to hate to have to correct people, but now I really don't mind. Its kind of second nature now. But I wouldn't really want a normal name because then I'm not unique. My name is pronounced on-uh-ees

My name is Anais not Anaise. It's very rare to hear someone say it right. It's AH-NAH-EES not AH-NAHY-is. God! I like uncommon names, but not mine.
