You're proposing it's pronounced Rena, like the female first name? I've never heard that in my life.

Well, the syllabic stress is on the second syllable but it's still not an overpronounced "NAY" sound. :\ If anything it's more like an "neh".

No, it's renaiSSANCE.

I mean, it comes from the French naissance, so the stress really should be on the second syllable.
