[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in Ireland for a while and everyone my age (I’m 36 now) was named Mary, Sarah, or Sinead. While I was there, I certainly butchered my way through some of names at first, like Aoife. I got there in the end but the pronunciations of some are not straightforward. I’d say that if you want something that screams IRISH but that most Americans will be ok with, you should go with Maeve or Sinead or Fiona. [/quote] Aoife is pronounced EEF-UH, right? [/quote] Yeah. Took me a while to understand that the ‘Eva’s I was meeting weren’t Eva, but Aoife. And that Aow-fee is not a name. I love the name Roisin but don’t think I’d choose it, because of the Roy-zin pronunciation that people would inevitably give her. [/quote]
