I am assuming it's French, so Anais is "Ahna-iess" and Aden is as spelled "A-den".
However I've also hear Anais pronounced "A-ny-uhs" like the name Aniais.
how do you pronounced it? Do you know what the proper pronunciation is?

I don't ever say it outloud, but when I first read about them, I was shocked that something that looked so much like the word anus would take off! But they are awesome, so much so that I almost get the closeness to being named anus!
Edit to add: that was supposed to say 'get OVER the closeness to being named anus'. Whoa. I def was not trying to make a statement about how awesome anuses are!

LOL @mrs. bird! Never thought of the name that way, but funny!
In my 'Murican brain it's pronounced Aiden and Ah-nye.
-
I say "Aiden and Uh-nye-is"
-
@mrs. bird: lol totally never even thought of that.
@Rubies: yeah that's how I say it. but I don't think it's correct because Anais is a girl's name and Anaias isn't.
-
@Minnie_Girl: ahhh silent "s"! I hadn't thought of that!
-
@mrs. bird: haha, omg i am cracking up over your post!
-
I usually say Aden = aiden and anais = ann-ess
clearly I'm strange
-
@Coco Bee: Apparently it's AY-den and uh-NAY. Ugh I have been saying it wrong in my head this whole time!

@lawbee11: That's muuch easier than what I was think/saying in my head

Same as @rubies, but I guess I was wrong...
-
I pronounce it like @minnie_girl. I thought I was saying it wrong!
-
I asked a girl at a boutique store here and she said it's aye-den (obv) and uh-nye. Who knows!
-
I thought same as @rubies...
-
Aiden and Ah-nise is how I would pronounce it!
-
Aiden and Uh-nay-ss
-
@lawbee11: what a great link! I didn't know half those pronunciations.
Here it's pronounced differently: http://www.forvo.com/word/anaïs/

@prettylizy: That's how I say it too, so you have company in your strangeness.
-
i just called their corporate office. they pronounce it ... A'-den and uh-Nay'
eta: same as @LAWBEE11 =)

According to Mrs. Sunglasses, it's pronounced in 3 syllables:
Ann - a - iisss (long "s" sound and not like like the word "is" )There was an old post she had up about possible baby names and I remember it because Anais the name I suggested and a name I considered for my LO until I realized how difficult it is to pronounce!

@Crumbs: that's the pronunciation I was thinking, because Anais is a French girl's name.
@softcream: hahaha that is so funny that you called them. Thank you. So the "s" is silent
-
@softcream: omg I love that you called corporate
