Hi guys and gals, looking for first reactions on how you would make a stab at pronouncing the name AnaÃ¯s if you saw it written down? Phonetically I mean.

I don't see anus - but what us grown-up's see in a name is not what kids might see.

Look, if a kid is going to get slagged they'll get slagged. Whether it's their name or their glasses or their hair colour. And if a kid really wants to nickname your child they will find something - anything- for it to be their nickname.

I've literally not long finished reading a rather hilarious facebook thread of nicknames and some are genius, funny or a bit mean depending on your point of view. One guy got a nickname because he got sick at sports training one single time. There's kids that got nicknamed because their dad had a nickname or their older brother's had nicknames and they got a diminutive of the name.
