Inez
A name that has been ringing some sweet bells for me lately is Inez, the English form of Inés, which to me is perhaps the sleekest name I know. I pronounce the name ee-NEZ, though I have mostly heard it pronounced EYE-nez or eye-NEZ, which is a little less sleek. Inez Matilda is super, super resonant for me aesthetically.

I prefer the long I sound. It seems more natural that way.

I can't get past the Cyberchase association (a show I used to watch all. the. time.) I don't dislike it, but I would probably like it more if I didn't associate it with an animated character on a kids' tv show. It does sound very elegant and refined (I pronounce it ee-NEZ)... I think Inez Matilda works really well.Some others that could work:
Inez Clarissa
Inez Fiona
Inez Helena (he-LAY-nə)
Inez Marcella
Inez Morgana
Inez Octavia
Inez Ophelia
Inez Rosetta
Inez Valentina

I have always liked this name. I truly appreciate the short and elegant. However, I will say that I like Inés better. Inez is a little more jarring than lilting compared to Inés. That said, it is still a darling name. I like Inez Regina, but Matilda is lovely too.
Some others:
Inez Polona
Inez Helene
Inez Bryony
Inez Rowena
Inez Delora
Inez Grier
Used as a middle both Greta Inez and Bridget Inez would be beautiful.

I'm leaning towards liking it but, at the moment, I'm 50/50 on Inez.

I adore Inez! It's one of my favorite names. I pronounce it as you do.Inez Matilda is fine, though I prefer an anapestic name after Inez (e.g. Inez Marguerite).

Always makes the think if some PBS kid's program called "Cyberchase" I used to watch back MANY years ago. The name itself sounds a bit dated but otherwise fine and acceptable. Inez Matilda: names are just "OK" to me. However, I am really liking the flow of them together
