Girl Name - "Ines" - WDYT?

in Baby Names
A little background - My husband is Hispanic and my two son's names are Carlos David (nn Charlie) and Samuel Orlando (nn Sammy). We have tentatively settled on "Sara Ines" for our baby girl but plan to call her by her middle name "Ines" (nn Nessie). We would pronounce it ee-ness. What are your thoughts?
My g-mother's name is Agnes, which is Ines in Spanish. I have always liked the name in Spanish since it is not too common but not a made-up name either. However, now I am second guessing it!
I am worried that it will be hard for my non-spanish speaking family to pronounce correctly. I am also worried that it could be turned into "anus" or "penis" on the school playground do to variants of pronunciations. Does it sound too old?
I would prefer to use Ines as a first name but have yet to come up with a good middle name that goes with Ines. Ines just seems to fit better in the mn position. Sara is a family name on both sides, as well hence why we chose it.
Thanks in advance for all your input!

I love it, but I would say it like eye-nez, so I guess that makes me a lame-o.

I love Pilar, so I vote for that as a MN.
I've only seen it spelled Inez, which I think is easier to pronounce

But seriously reconsider calling her something other than her first name. My parents decided to have me go by my middle name, and I hated it. It was a major pain in school and on legal documents. I also hated that my name wasn't what they called at graduation or what appeared in yearbooks. I had my middle name legally changed to my first during college. Here are some suggestions for a middle name:
Ines Mary
Ines Taylor
Ines Ava
Ines Alexandra
Ines Riley
Ines Jordan
Ines Lyla
Ines Jessa
Ines is nice, I like it. It will need pronunciation corrections at least part of the time for non-Spanish speakers. I am in the camp of recommending you find a way to put it in the FN spot, I like Ines Pilar. My two brothers both go by their MNs and they feel its a huge PIA. They reminded me repeatedly not to do that to my child when the naming conversation came up
