Re: How to pronounce Anais?
I say a-NAY. I knew a girl called this once, and that's how she pronounced it. I always figured the S was silent. Kind of sounds weird saying it with an S.

Really? I guess it's just an issue of familiarity, but I think that a-NAY is really strange. I've never heard that pronunciation before. Especially weird when I think of the writer Anais Nin - a-NAY Nin. I pronounce it like "ah-na-ees".

The A-Nay prn seems to be popular in the UK. A lot of people seem to think that's the name of the perfume Anais Anais as well. Not sure why, maybe an advertising campaign that wasn't clear or used the wrong prn.
