Question

How common is the name Inés in France?

Answer 1

According to this webpage http://www.babynamefacts.com/popularname... its the 7th most popular girls name.

Answer 2

It has indeed been getting very popular since the mid to late 90's. So it is very common among little girls, but not so common among women (although not extremely rare either).

I believe models Inès de la Fressange and Inès Sastres had something to do with the new popularity of the name. Place your mouse on the following chart from years 1901 to 2005: http://notrefamille.com/prenom/INES.html It will tell you how many Inès born on a given year now live in France. So if you add all the figures together you would get an idea of how many Ines are in France.

If you click on "popularité", you will see that about 1% of new-born girls got named Inès between 1998 and 2001.
