I think it is a beautiful name but the most famous Anais was such a libertine! I fear people would prnounce it in the English manner (if they can even manage that) rather than the prettier French version.

You know, it looks really pretty. And then I say it. An-ays just sounds "not nice" to me. Like you're about to say "A nasal infection" or something. If it was pronounced differently I would totally be on board. Looking at it, I want to pronounce it "ah-nay" or "uh-nay" and I really like that. But I can't go w/ it the way it's pronounced here.


Good luck!

I've always heard it pronounced "ana-ees."

Not to be crass or anything, but when Anais gets into about 3rd grade, everyone will call her anus. It's too easy.

It's pretty, but for me too much potential for teasing.

"an a$$"
"anus"
"mayonaise"
