Anais pronunciation

ChristyML

If any of you have seen the show The Amazing World of Gumball, you'll know that he has a little sister named Anais. Well in the show, they have said it two different ways (by the same character). One way they say it is uh nye ees. The other way (which is the way I say it) is uh nye iss.

Which way is the "right" way? Do you have a preference over which way to say it?

I've known several people named this and they've always pronounced it "ah-nye-ees". Pretty name.

Ah nayz like mayonnaise is how I would pronounce it but I've never seen or heard it before.

I have heard both an-nah-ees and uh-nye-iss. I think it depends on your preference. It's pretty!

I've heard it both as

uh-nie-is

and 

ann-eye-eese

I can't say which I prefer as they both fit the person whose name it was.

I babysit for a little girl named Anais.  Her mother pronounces it Ah-nah-eese (eese, like geese).

It was really hard for me to learn.  I called her Annie (said Ah-knee) for a few weeks, per her mom's suggestion, because it was easier t
