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

Cheers guys :D

I disagree... I've worked with hispanics for three years now and the name Inez sounds more like Ihh-nez

Though its tough to sound it out like that..

Depends on where you'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".

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 :D 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.

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......... :(
