@xoDelphine thank you for explaining so clearly! Totally get it now, and the correct [name_f]Anaïs[/name_f] pronunciation is what I see as beautiful too! [name_f]Noémi[/name_f] is not the same with ah-naze.
Hmm 
just how much will my crazy mind want a y!? Enough to change the actual name pronunciation? 
I will mull it over.
Again, thanks!
