[Opinions] Re: Anais
in reply to a message by Perrine
Some juvenile playground bully would undoubted twist it to Anus, and the kid would be teased mercilessly. I would probably only use it for a book character.

Hmm the correct pronunciation is so far off of anus that that particular child would have to be very creative. I know that children can be creative, but they can pretty much destroy any name so I wouldn't let that keep me from using it. And he/she would also have to know how to spell it and that you could pronounce that spelling differently in order to get anus out of it. Doesn't seem very likely to me, to be honest. I think the most common mispronunciation would be ann-NAYS.
