Baby Name Poll Results

Ines vs. Agnes
Different versions of the same name. Ines is delicate and pretty, but creates doubts on how to pronounce it. Agnes is classic and strong, but not a crowd pleaser. For us its really either one of them, so your vote would make a difference!

We thought of Ines. I would worry a lot in this country - there are about 5 ways to pronounce it:
EE-ness (rhymes with a body part so a bit of a problem in US)
ee-NESS
Ih-Ness
eye-ness
Ih-nez
Eye-nez (look up Hairspray)
I did a poll and the results were evenly split. We ultimately went another direction despite having a Hispanic background because I thought it unfair to set her up for a lifetime of corrections, and honestly didn't even know which way to choose ourselves since the authentic Spanish way is complicated here in the States.
I would strongly suggest Agnes if in an English-speaking country.
