I love it for BOTH genders [m]

I think if girls can use some boys names, boys can use girls.

I can totally picture Anais on a boy, actually more better then a girl! Go for it!

No! I like it for a girl, but for a boy, not happening. I don't think it woulld work.

We've just had a new niece named that. In France.

Since Anaïs is related to Anna I find her quite feminine, totally charming and completely unsuitable for a boy.

Before I knew how to pronounce it properly (I used to say it: ah-NICE as my French isn't all that great), I was confused as to whether it belonged to a boy or a girl. Now that I know better, it definitely suits a girl better. It's just so.... feminine.

It's totally a feminine name to me.

I like it but I wouldn't use it. I met a very cute French child at a wedding a few years ago called Anais.

I like it a lot for a girl, but not for a boy -- not because of the name intrinsically, I think, but because I know an Anais and that just cements it as female for me.

---

I like Ananias, Hananiah, and Annas for a boy, though...except that the first two are too long for my taste.

I dislike the name on either sex.

---

Like, severely dislike. Like, it's up there in my top least favourites.

---

It doesn't appeal on either sex, as far as I'm concerned.

Array (can feel your pain, though--she thinks Rose would be handsome for a boy ;)

It's strictly feminine... I could never see it on a boy.

Seems a bit feminine to me, but there are other 'Ana' names which are masculine, like: Anael, Anaiah, Anafel, Anani, Anaphiel, .

Feminine! Don't change it to a boys name. ick.

Anais is definately for a girl :)

For me, it screams feminine.
