I love love love Aoife!!! It's my favourite girls name (after DD's name obviously!!)

I like tiernan but prefer Zac or Luke xx

Hi MrsR.

Yes Aoife is really beautiful The name Zac is really starting to grow on me, but I think its quite a popular name nowadays. Il be hunting the internet for the next few months looking for new names! XX

 

[MrsR]

Strangely I don't know any Zac's. You could go for Zachary or Zacharius and shorten it?

I love Aofie... I'd love to use it but my OH hates it... He hates everything tho x

 

[Titch85]

I love Aofie... I'd love to use it but my OH hates it... He hates everything tho x

How is that pronounced?

I love Irish names like Niamh, but other OH won't even consider it as we have no Irish roots!

 

[Doob]

I think it's pronounced EE-fah Hun xx

It's Ee-feh... (Effie) I'm Scottish, and love Effie, but like the Irish spelling too... My OH is the same, ha! Typical... I'd love a Scottish name for my baby tho, stick with roots.x

 

[Titch85]

Ooooh I like that!

I know someone with the name Aoife and they pronounce it Ee-fah. Personally dont like it cause it sounds like FIFA.

I had Tierney on a prev names list , as it went with my daughters name Briony, but couldn't decide if strong enougth a name, but didn;t have another girl...
