but I'm entirely serious.
How do you pronounce Aden & Anais?
I never really thought about it because I've never said it out loud. Until today when I was on the phone with my mom telling her about the double swaddle I did with an Aden & Anais blanket... which I realized sounds like "Aiden & Anus" and I thought... well that can't be right.... lol

i pronounce it like anai/anye--like, without the s. i'm not sure why. i guess i assumed it was a french word and...yeah i have no idea what i'm talking about.
eta: anus. teehee. that may be the pronunciation though!

@Mae: I called my insurance to get info on my pump, and they had me call the medical supply company for specifics. They pronounced it me-del-ahh so I thought i had been saying it incorrectly! I always thought it was mah-dee-lah... And now I see it is!

@Mrs. Jump Rope: interesting - based on that link I called these wrong too!!
Robeez – RAH-beez
They were named for the owner’s son, Robbie, at the height of the z’s for s’s craze.
Umi – OOH-mee
These kids shoes do not rhyme with “yummy” but they probably should.

I always struggle with this because I KNOW the proper pronunciation is without the 'S' but I always feel pretentious saying it that way.

Is it Anay because the i is 1 dot and not 2 dots like this: ï?

Wow I pronounced a lot wrong lol I said Ay-den and Uh-nye-s (aden & anais), Muh-della (medela), peh-dee-pehd (Pediped), Roe-beez (Robeez). I knew Umi from Japanese classes but wow some of these are out-there! And yeah I totally still say Cheek-o even though I know it isn't pronounced that way XD

@edelweiss: it is originally a French name, but the pronunciation is irregular and you do pronounce the S. Although, I think @sunny:is right, I don't think they spell it with the ï, just a regular i so I guess that's why it is not pronounced the French way?
I say Ay-den and An-I-eese. (Like geese at the end).
@Mrs. Jump Rope: I disagree with their pronunciation of Béaba products. It's a French brand pronounced bay-uh-bah.

Apparently I'm the only one in the world that's been saying aden and anise. I guess I made that up! I will now refer to them only as a&a

I usually say "A & A" because I stumble over the pronunciation, but I'm pretty sure it's uh-ny-EESE.
