- ¿Son ellas Maite e Ines? =
Are they Maite and Ines?
- More common but incorrect grammatically: Is that Maite and Ines?

I'd probably use the incorrect one, except in rare circumstances. - webdunce, Feb 3, 2010
What is grammatically incorrect about it? What if it said "Is that Maite walking with Inés?" or "Is that Maite with Inés?" The ""and" doesn't make it plural in that context. - 0074b507, Feb 3, 2010
Is that Maite and Ines? sounds perfect to me. The word "that" is somewhat ambiguous, so is works. If you said: Are that Maite and Ines? you'd have it wrong. "Are those (people) Maite and Ines?" would also work. - hyrumt, Feb 3, 2010

I think it should be: "¿Quién son Maité y Inés?" And the answer for exaple: "Maité y Inés son nuestros amigos". Asking about: "¿Qual es tu profesion?" or "Qué eres?" and answers: "Soy médico" or "Soy taxista". There are questions and answers about professions.

¿Ellas son Maité e Inés? or ¿Ellas son Inés y Maité? or ¿Quienes son ellas, Maité e Inés?.
