How do you pronounce Anais?

[Beadette]

Hi girls,

Just wondering how you pronounce the name Anais?

I'm from the north west of England and have to be careful with some girls names as I feel my accent can make them sound common! LOL

I would pronounce it 'a-nay'

Is this completely wrong??

There used to be a perfume called anais anais and that was pronounced 'anice' if thats any help x

 

[Jo20072007]

your right hun its a-nay (the perfume is also said like this too) one of my favs lol x

 

[Barbles]

I would say A-Nay too because of the perfume, its my mums favourite x

I say it a-nay-eace (like 'peace) I believe that is the French pronunciation. Your way is also correct, though.

 

[tink28]

[smileylexie]

I say it A-Nay. A friends little girl is called Anais-Lily and they say it like that and they are French so...

What do you think of "Anahi" or Anaih" ?

I know that's an American Indian name but I'm not sure how it's really spelled, but it lacks the S. I'm pretty sure it's pronounced A-nah-ee.

 

[Babyshed]

I'd pronounce it 'an-aze'

Well it's definitely pronounced differently around the world! Here down south in the U.S.A., we (or at least many/most) of us pronounce it "Anna eece"

on-ay-ees like "Anais Nin" the philosopher. Nice name!

I would pronounce it "Annah-ees" or "Ah-nice". The first one is how I've seen the pronunciation described on other sites and the second is how it would be pronounced in my mother tongue.
