How Would You Pronounce The Name "inez"?

[Mr. Mulder]

With great difficulty

All such as mentioned are used, depending.

The problem could be solved by asking her how she prefers it; people with such names are usually not offended by being asked, as they are more than aware of the dilemma.

Unless you are asking for purposes of christening a child thus, in which case the problem solves itself, yes?

Cheers for everyone's help on this, in the end I asked the girl in question how her middle name was pronounced (it was "ee-ness" in this instance but I expect any one of these answers could have been valid...)

edit:ps my reason for trying to figure out this was a vain attempt to impress this girl by guessing her middle name (she gave me the first and last letters). Yes, I know, I'm very sad....

You could have asked to be formally introduced by a mutual friend, who was fluent in Spanish, with an accent from the region her parents were raised in.

Couldn&#39;t be simpler, you only had to ask.

Just so-

Listen to J&#39;Pol, and you, too, can be a simpleton.

How would you pronounce the name "INEZ"?&nbsp; It&#39;s a Spanish female name, any help would be gratefully appreciated, especially from any of our Spanish speaking friends...

Cheers guys

Depends on where you&#39;re from.

In Castilian Spanish (used in mainland Spain), which I know a little of, it would be "ee-neth", but in other dialects it is "ee-ness" or even "ee-nez". [/b][/quote]

I wasn&#39;t then, but I am now.

I&#39;ve never been good with stilts-cruciate insufficiency, wouldn&#39;t you know.

I still dream about the circus, though.........
