Nerys makes me think of a very proper, very Christian, very Celtic/Welsh domineering mother... and I have no idea where I picked up that association. I think my mother worked/works with at least one Nerys.
I don't like the name much, but I can take or leave the mental image of a tough Welsh mum.

I say Nerys to rhyme with Harris... or...erh... Herris? Emphasis on either syllable, probably the first, I'm not sure, but short vowels. Definitely not nair-ees.

It's okay. I'd like to see it with something more common and feminine without being flowery like Nerys Matilda.

I pronounce it NEHR-iss. No clue what the actual pronunciation is.

My only exposure to the name Nerys was via Doctor Who, when Catherine Tate's Donna was the companion. She had a "friend" (really, a rival) named Nerys (NEHR-is). She was almost always saying the name in exasperation or annoyance or hatred, cause she didn't really like Nerys, and so while I think it's a pretty name it has that association to me so I don't much like it lol

I must say I think near-is is a strange pronunciation and an uncommon one that if a parent went with, they'd be constantly correcting people.
